That's it from us for tonight. Come back tomorrow for a crackerjack doubleheader starting off with Dambulla Viiking against Kandy Tuskers followed in the nightcap by Colombo Kings against Galle Gladiators. With kudos to Andrew Fernando, I'm Peter Della Penna. See you again Saturday!

Man of the Match Avishka Fernando (via translator): "During the Powerplay I couldn't get any runs. I decided to hang around and play a long innings and that's exactly what I did. It's a great honor to bat with a player of that stature and [Shoaib Malik] was really helpful in the middle and we put a partnership to win the game. The wicket is a flat wicket, full of runs and I'm looking forward to playing more innings like this."

Stallions captain Thisara Perera: "As a captain, I'm really happy with this performance. As a bowling unit, we have done pretty well. We have so many youngsters. Congratulations to Avishka. He has batted really well and hopefully he can do something really special this series."

Gladiators captain Shahid Afridi: "From the end of the sixth over to the 14th over, we didn't execute our plan batting. We didn't bowl according to the plan and we didn't execute. I was expecting more but it's a good wakeup call. In T20 if you make less mistakes than the opposition, than you'll win the game."

11:40 pm Did I mention that ESPNcricinfo fantasy expert Rahul Maniraja had Avishka Fernando as his pick to be fantasy squad captain today? Justified and then some with an unbeaten 92 including seven sixes, sure to sweep up the Player of the Match Award in a few moments from now. Now that's what I call a blockbuster Black Friday steal!

Dananjaya to bowl the last over.

Isaac Marshall: "In T20's, Shoaib Malik is the master chaser and top three in the world for saving a team from disaster. Pakistan are really gonna miss him if they don't pick him again."
