That's all from us tonight. Come back tomorrow for another LPL 2020 doubleheader. I'm Peter Della Penna, good night!

Man of the Match Dinesh Chandimal: "I'm really happy with the innings today, especially against the new ball. I had a game plan before I go out to bat. If I stay through the Powerplay, I thought I had to finish this game. It was going to be tough for new batsman to come in [on this pitch]. The first two overs I tried to hit boundaries. Hasaranga bowled extremely well. [Russell] was cool as a cucumber. I know he's going to be a matchwinner. He gives so much advice, told me to stay in and he will go after the bowlers. The conditions were good. It was tough with the new ball, slightly spongy bounce, but at the same time you have to rotate the strike. I'm really happy with how we played."

Colombo Kings Angelo Mathews: "We were a little bit lethargic with our attitude in the last few games but today I thought we were there and we wanted to win and played some really good cricket. It's all about discipline and being aggressive. Jaffna has a very strong batting and bowling lineup so we had to play our A game to win against them. We are really happy that [Visyakanth] played today and I wish him all the best."

Jaffna Stallions captain Thisara Perera: "It was not a good score with this batting lineup. We were trying to get past 180 but it didn't work and we need to take some lessons. We lost too many wickets in the Powerplay. We need to take positives and negatives from this match. I am really impressed with [Visyakanth] and his bowling as a newcomer."

11.37 pm Despite Hasaranga's heroic efforts, Jaffna Stallions finally have a blemish on their record. Stallions were always behind the game after the triple-strike by Qais Ahmad in the first innings and Andre Russell's late flourish calmed any nerves that may have been building in the Kings camp.

3 from 6 balls needed to win with six wickets in hand. You never know...

Dhananjaya to bowl the last over.

PC de Silva to de Silva, 3 runs, full and wide, backs away from leg to create room to drive over the off side. Was really aiming for cover but sliced this more off the edge and it sailed over backward point. Great hustle to drag this back in at the rope by Binura. Saved one run as they come back for the third.
