Ekanth will be back with the chase soon. Stay tuned.

"Our mentors always backed me and told me to play my normal game," says Kusal Perera. "I always try to control what I can control. I didn't know that [fastest LPL ton], so I am happy. The wicket is a bit dry. We will have to bowl good lengths and back ourselves."

4.30pm And excellent last over by Asitha but Sixes have put up a daunting 191 for 2. They had a sedate start but then Kusal Perera stepped up and brought up his maiden T20 hundred, in just 50 balls. He found good support from Chapman towards the end to take his side close to 200.
