A very frugal bowling performance by Kandy. Wellalage's late flourish gives Kings something to bowl at but maybe not enough runs on the board. A cluster of wickets early on could make this an interesting contest. Angelo Mathews rolled back the years and set up Gurbaz brilliantly in the first over, forcing him to play a jailbreak shot and getting him early in the piece. Wickets continued to tumble and there was no momentum in the innings as Hasaranga later spun a web and was at his belligerent best! I will be back shortly.

Chameera to Burger, FOUR, Fuller length just outside off stump, and he picks the gap beautifully, carves it away to extra cover boundary.
OB: "Now they've got something to defend."
OB: "Wellalage came out of syllabus."
LahiruM: "it's same score galle titans scored yesterday after their 20 overs.. 117 for 9 wickets.. Will we see kandy go for NRR today? i think they should."

Sakib: "Did Hridoy played his last game here in LPL tonight? Because Shoaib Malik is back in SL, @Cricinfo" Originally he is a temporary replacement for Shoaib Malik who is arriving tonight. No decision taken as of now to change that.

Pradeep to Wellalage, FOUR, Drilled downtown and guess what? It's another four. Makes some room and then swats it over the bowler's head for another cracking four. Stays deep in the crease beats mid-off, it has got just enough legs to reach the fence

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Wellalage, FOUR, Zips it quicker on a shortish length outside off, slammed away off the backfoot past short third for a blistering boundary. This has been a great little cameo from Wellalage!

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Wellalage, no run, Shorter and angling into the pads, looks like going down leg, Hasaranga sends it upstairs in the dying moments of the DRS timer. Let's take a look. Replay shows flat line as the ball passes the bat. Pitching outside off, impact in line but going a few inches away from the leg stump so that's that

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Wellalage, FOUR, Full and wide outside off, throws his hands at this, cuts it and beats short third and it's got four written all over it

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Burger, 1 run, Round the wicket, lobbed up outside off, glided to backward point, shy at non-striker's end, direct hit would have been curtains for Burger
