What a way to bounce back and Jaffna showed the loss in the last game was just a one-off. They are back to leading the table and Galle have been handed their first loss. That's all that we have for you today, thanks for tuning in. We'll be back nice and early for the two LPL games tomorrow. Till then, good night and rest well. Ciao!
Thisara Perera: The bowlers did a great job. There was no dew last night, but there was more dew today. Gurbaz and Hridoy are classical batsmen. The dew does not effect then. We rested two players today, but I have a good bench of players and I am happy. Sometimes I can't give him [Wellalage] bowling, it all depends on the wicket.
Dasun Shanaka: Of course tough night. They bowled really well. If we stick to our strengths we could have done better with the bat. This was a 150 wicket. Shakib and Tim batted exceptionally well last match. But such things happen.
Dunith Wellalage is the Player of the Match for his 4 for 10: These days I practice really well. My coaches and team always support me and I trust myself. The pitch was slow and I tried to bowl some variations and use the crease. I always trust myself and my team. My skipper gave me great support.
Presentation time
10.25pm Jaffna move to the top of the table with that big win. They were always going in the chase with their noses in front but the way they went about it just shows why they have won all those LPL titles. Rahmanullah Gurbaz started off with a four, so did Charith Asalanka. While Asalanka fell to Shakib, Gurbaz remained unmoved. He smashed 54 off 39 balls with three fours and five sixes, while Towhid Hridoy smashed 44* off 23. They added 83 off 52 for the second wicket and the chase was almost done there. Only Shakib Al Hasan had two wickets to show for in an otherwise insipid bowling effort.
END OF OVER:12 | 4 Runs 1 Wkt | JK: 103/2 (15 runs required from 48 balls, RR: 8.58, RRR: 1.87)
- Towhid Hridoy32 (21b)
- David Miller2 (2b)
- Shakib Al Hasan4-0-31-2
- Tabraiz Shamsi3-0-26-0
