    0.5 Mathews strikes! He gets a massive breakthrough, Gurbaz holes out to deep square and the fielder didn't have to move a muscle to gobble it up. He was itching for a big shot, doesn't like to go in a shell. Took a step down the pitch and cuffed it straight to the man. Brilliant start for Kandy 2/1
    2.1 Edged and taken! What has he done? Mathews is on fire! Back of a length, gets it to lift off the deck from a slightly short of a good length and he gets in a tangle, hangs back, dangles the bat out and nicks it through to the keeper. Big blow landed by Kandy. He was caught in two minds to what do , tried to block and then bail out of the shot 7/2
    6.6 Miscues the sweep and another one perishes! Top-edge and he holes out to deep square, he tries to get on top of the ball but completely miscued skying towards the fielder in the deep who was in a great position to pouch it. Everything working to plan for Kandy, won the toss and opted to bowl, couldn't have asked for a better start 34/3
    11.2 Goes full and induces a false shot, a harmless delivery outfoxes David Miller! On the pads and merrily whipped away straight to the man at deep square who reverse cups it. That is a huge breakthrough; he is a dangerous customer. Miller is livid with himself as Kings find themselves in a huge spot of bother! A very vital incision to get the big fish who hasn't yet made a mark in LPL. 58/4
    13.1 Bagged at mid-off by Hasaranga! Superb catch hustling in and timing his dive to perfection, plucks it as the ball started to die on him. Perera sprang down the track and misced it completely, getting the splice of the bat. Wickets continue to tumble and their progress is beset once again 72/5
    13.5 Lots more air, and that's smooshed high in the air but he didn't get the distance. That was pounded but Hasaranga at long-on takes a stupendous catch to send him back in the hut. 75/6

    13.6 Appeal for lbw and given! Huge shout and umpire didn't hesitate to adjudge it lbw. He takes the review. It's a fair delivery. Length ball, jags back from middle and off and raps his front pad, no bat involved as confirmed by the ultraedge. What does ball tracking say? Pitching outside off, impact in line and hitting the wickets. Crashing onto the middle stump and the on-field decision stands. Pradeep is on a hattrick! 75/7
    14.6 Zingers are alight! Tossed up beautifully on a fuller length and gets a hint of spin, he is caught in two minds whether to defend or go for the drive and is squared up too. Ball rips through the stumps as Kings stare into the abyss. 78/8
    16.1 Hits him plumb in front of the stumps, was looking to defend and played down the wrong line, not picking him at all. That's stone dead lbw. Tossed up fuller and it spins in ever so slightly beating his defence and that's a straightforward decision for the umpire who agress with Hasaranga 86/9
