And on that note it's a wrap from us. But don't go anywhere just yet as the game between Jaffna Kings and B-Love Kandy will be starting shortly. But from me and Ashish, it's goodbye!
Colombo skipper Niroshan Dickwella: "I think we really did well in the first 10 overs with the ball, still did well to keep them under 200 in the death overs, but it was about 20 runs too much in the end."
Player of the Match goes to Dambulla skipper Kusal Mendis, he also gets the Striker of the Match award for the most boundaries: "I think we batted really well in the first six overs. It was a little slow in that period but after that it was good. The bowlers have also done very well."
Presentation ceremony coming up...
Abdul Samad: "Just imagine what the result could have been had Chamika gone before Lakshan.."
Affan: "Imagine if Nissanka had gotten out an over earlierâŠ"
6.57pm So it's a 10-run win in the end for Aura, and it looks like Chamika Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis also patched things up after that last ball. Despite that slightly fractious end, Mendis will have a lot to be chirpy about after his 46-ball 87 laid the foundation for Dambulla's massive score. Colombo put in a valiant effort in the chase, but in the end they just didn't have the consistency of hitting to see it through. All the Colombo batters got starts, with Nuwanidu going on to be unbeaten on 56 off 39, but it Dambulla's bowlers held their nerve at the death - particularly Hayden Kerr with a 4-run penultimate over - to see the win through.
Some heated words here between Mendis and Chamika
