That's it from our coverage of this match but there's another game about to start between Dambulla Aura and Colombo Strikers. Do hop over to our coverage for that match. It's goodbye from me, Rvel Zahid.

Chameera was incisive in the crucial last over and nailed his yorkers to perfection to guide his team to the doorstep of victory in this thrilling affair. With this win, B-Love Kandy have climbed to the top of the points table and confirmed their berth in the playoffs. Kandy were in some trouble early on after opting to bat first but some sensational head-spinning batting from Mohammad Haris helped them post a challenging total on this tricky pitch. Jaffna will be gutted to lose after coming so close; they left too many runs in the end after the vital partnership between Lynn and Malik that brought them back in the game. Kandy once again managed to circumvent through the obstacles and found a way to win their fourth game in a row. With Mathews bowling brilliantly in the power-play, Hasaranga strangling the oppositions in the middle overs alongside Mujeeb and Udana bringing all his experience to the fore, they are a formidable side that has got all bases covered with several match-winners in their ranks.

Chameera to Wellalage, 1 run, Bashes a full-length ball on an attacking line outside off, pulls it away to midwicket region and it's all over for Jaffna. The snake is out on the field to congratulate Chameera for spitting venom in the last over.

Sahil Sharma: "@Badar, someone with a similar name got a ton a few days back but couldn't get his team over the line, you feel the same?"
