That's it from us for this match. The evening game will be live shortly.
Wanindu Hasaranga, Falcons captain: After three losses we played a great game. Credit should go to our batters. Our bowlers didn't do well in the Powerplay, in the last three games. But we did well today.
Charith Asalanka, Kings captain: I think we were short of 10-15 runs with the start we got. These pitches are a nightmare for bowlers. It's a fast outfield and a flat pitch.
Chandimal is POtM: I thought as a senior player I needed to stand up, and I did. It's all about mentality and being positive when I'm batting. I relaxed my hands also a little bit. Very happy with how I playd.
Dinesh Chandimal deserves a lot of credit for giving Falcons the momentum in this gargantuan chase. But don't forget Pathum Nissanka's 119 - the highest ever score at the LPL, even if it did not result in a win. Falcons also bowled well towards the end of their innings, and retrospectively, that seems a crucial part of the game.
That win brings Falcons up to two wins. THey are now fourth on the table.
Asitha Fernando to bowl the 19th.
