00:00Match number four, the Dambulla Sixers taking on Laika's Jafna Kings.

00:14A little bit earlier the coin went up into the air and it was Laika's Jafna Kings who

00:22won the toss and on a new surface decided that they would bowl first.

00:28Alongside me, Roshan Abasinga.

00:30Roshan, what about the starting eleven?

00:31Well, not a bad side, but I must say that they're still a little bit short in batting,

00:36I think.

00:37They've got a decent bowling make-up.

00:38They've got the left arm spinning, Nimesh Bimukti, but I'd like to see a little bit

00:42more batting muscle as far as Dambulla's concerned.

00:45I must admit, I like the look of the Jafna Kings.

00:47I know that they didn't win their opening game, but they've got a powerhouse batting

00:52unit.

00:53Fatoumna Sanka, Kusum Mendes, Avishka Fernanda, fresher for half-century, Riley Russo, the

00:57South African, Charitas Alanka, the captain.

01:00In comes Azmatullah Onuzai, the Afghanistan all-rounder, and he too can add some firepower.

01:06Don't forget Dananjaya Da Silva.

01:08So a very, very good unit, the Jafna Kings.

01:11Need a win, both sides.

01:18They're away.

01:19Oh, fortunate.

01:20It'll run away and provide us with the first boundary of the innings.

01:36Two's the call.

01:37You might get more than that.

01:39He does.

01:40Well, there's the first one.

01:45He said that he slides it on, and he's done just that to get rid of a very dangerous man.

01:55Looking to slide it in.

01:56He's not spinning it, he's looking to roll it.

01:59Out for 9 of 11, 18 for 1.

02:04That one a little bit quicker.

02:06And that's the elegance that we spoke about, beautiful.

02:14That'll be four.

02:15That's not his best delivery.

02:20That's a better hit.

02:22Very good hit.

02:23One bounce over the boundary line, must need a boundary.

02:31That's good.

02:32That is good from Kosal Perera.

02:39Reverse sweep, that's a good option.

02:41Right option taken, it had to be.

02:45And again, same result, 2-2 for Kosal Perera, through reverse sweep.

02:55Another boundary, he's dealing in boundaries now.

03:01That's in the air, Asalanka is trying to get underneath it, oh unlucky.

03:11Once again a very good hit, into the gap, and sailed over the boundary line.

03:18Picks the length very quickly, and off it goes.

03:22Very good.

03:23Nuno de Fernando, this is what he's been doing in first class structure in A-team cricket.

03:27Just have to keep going more and more.

03:31The left-hander has looked to take him on, and that's exactly what he does.

03:35Kosal Perera is moving well.

03:41Today if they put him under pressure, where does Asalanka go in those middle overs?

03:46That's his 50, and what an innings for Kosal Perera, his 4th 50 in his LPL career, an important

03:55one for the left-hander.

04:00What a shot this time, it's 6.

04:01It took on the fielder at mid-wicket and cleared him.

04:08Wherever you bowl, you give him extra pace, he's going to put it away, and that's the

04:13way to do it.

04:14Another one, it's cleared the boundary this time, but fairly comfortable distance.

04:27The reverse, very effective, and he's got a 6 of it.

04:36He's used the pace, Kosal Perera has now brought up the 100 partnership.

04:44Fabulous.

04:45100 partnership, Kosal Perera has basically scored 65% of those runs.

04:54Oh, what a shot that is, but there is a man, and he takes it.

05:01Sliced it just a wee bit, because it was quicker from Dhananjay De Silva, and they get a breakthrough.

05:11Nwanindu Fernando's got 40, it's 1.26 for 2.

05:19This is over extra cover, that is a couple of bouncers and 4.

05:26This time again, over the offside, we'll get another boundary.

05:31Kosal Perera is motoring along.

05:36Well, you want your ensemble, there's a man down in the deep.

05:41Just long enough.

05:45But quite slow to get across, I think it's Vias Khan at long on.

05:51Yeah, that's the leg spinner Vias Khan, also culprit.

05:55Quite slow off the blocks, and in the end, straight up.

06:00In the first over itself, the powerblast, Chapman into his business.

06:07Oh, how clever is that?

06:09That is brilliant.

06:12What a stroke to bring up the 1.50.

06:19Now work for the man in the deep, too much.

06:22This is the southfield, you don't have to hit it too far to the left or right of the sweepers.

06:32There's another boundary, as he hits ever closer to his top score in T20 cricket.

06:38Oh, no, no, no.

06:41He's finished well, 9 from it. That's the end of the powerblast overs, 1.64 for 2.

07:08Finds the Yorker again, but it's a dangerous line to bowl.

07:12This outfield wrecks havoc for the sweepers.

07:18Done it again, it's not the first time.

07:21Not the first time that Chapman has shown those sort of skills.

07:28Out the ground.

07:30Just throw that back, will you?

07:32Because the field has just stood and stared.

07:36Missing the Yorker, this is the price you pay against Kusal Janith Perera or Mark Chapman.

07:41You go for the Yorker, you miss it.

07:43Margin of error is very, very minimum.

07:45Against the wind, doesn't matter.

07:52A hundred for Kusal Perera.

07:57His first, the second by a Sri Lankan in LPL.

08:01A player of this quality deserves this number next to his name.

08:08Chapman on strike here to finish things off.

08:13Brilliant, brilliant.

08:15They'll get a single, they'll scramble a single.

08:181.91 is a more than respectable total on this very good pitch.

08:23Well, they were put into that Dumbledore, they'll be very satisfied with their innings.

08:29Like a Jaffna Kings, in order to get off the mark, in order to produce their first win,

08:33they'll need 192 of 20 overs.

08:40There you go, the first delivery.

08:43No run.

08:49Got it through, got it through, that was a miss hit.

08:55In the air, the wind will carry it over.

08:59Patum Nisankar.

09:05Opted to sweep the ball, but this time around, it was just back of the leg.

09:08And that was more than enough for Nisankar to pounce on it.

09:15Down on one knee, have a slog.

09:17If you're going to hang around, you're going to be in trouble.

09:20Nisankar's realised that.

09:25Oh, good shot. Very good shot.

09:29Got to the pitch of the ball, stayed inside the line of the delivery,

09:33to be able to farm that gap. Good batting from Nisankar.

09:37Searching for that early wicket.

09:40All four.

09:43That will give Mendes some confidence, who's been struggling to find his timing.

09:50It's taken.

09:52How about that?

09:53Jeez, the fielder, the DP Schlip at 30 yards, picks up a dolly.

10:01Pushed the ball outside the off stump, and it was pitched up.

10:05Asking the batter to hit the ball through extra cover.

10:09Only managed an edge.

10:12First blood drawn, and it's Kosal Mendes who's walking back after contributing six.

10:18It's 30 for one.

10:23That's four.

10:25Petr Nisankar on his way, aerial.

10:27One bounce for four.

10:34Catch. Taken.

10:36Hit it hard, but couldn't get underneath it.

10:40It's Petr Nisankar who's gone this time.

10:46You have to make sure you hit the ball away from the fielder.

10:51Wasn't the case, but was a good catch.

10:54That ball was travelling by Naby.

10:58Both the openers are removed now.

11:01Unlike Ajafna Kings, they are 36 for two after five overs.

11:07We see this when Afghanistan play, or when Naby plays for his various franchises.

11:11He likes to bowl to left-handers.

11:16Always brought on when there's left-handers at the crease.

11:19He'll take the new ball if left-handers open the batting.

11:24And here's the reason why.

11:26Because he has a habit of getting them out.

11:33Going across the lines.

11:35A little bit of turn away from the left-hander.

11:39That was a good catch.

11:42Kosal Janit Perera can't do anything wrong today.

11:46Difficult catch, but so high in the air.

11:49And the captain strikes the double-up.

11:52Rosso gone for one, Ajafna in trouble.

11:5436 for three.

11:58He can be quite a difficult customer to play against.

12:02Some skid on, some turn away.

12:05End of the power play, 37 for three.

12:19Just clears extra cover.

12:21And again, the outfield wins the race.

12:24So fast.

12:30Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble.

12:32I think he would have been miles out.

12:38Oh, he's got it.

12:40He's got it.

12:42He's got it.

12:44He's got it.

12:46He's got it.

12:49Oh, for a second, there was no run at all.

12:51Kosal Janit Perera, he had ample time, but misses it.

12:55That's the only thing he did wrong right throughout the day.

12:58And nowhere near the stumps.

13:03That's Kuala Lumpur.

13:05Oh, he misjudged it.

13:07Thauvut Widoy at Kuala Lumpur.

13:09I thought it was an easy catch going forward.

13:12And he made a mockery of it.

13:14Oh, no.

13:18Backpedals, chooses not to come in and attempt the catch.

13:21And then, unfortunately, there's just a little bit of spin away from him.

13:25Which takes it for four.

13:27Got enough.

13:29Has he got enough?

13:31Oh, it's got to go, it does.

13:37And that too, calculated risk.

13:39Against the turn, but against the wind.

13:44Thauvut Widoy comes in generally tall.

13:47He missed that, he can't believe it.

13:52Well, that's it hard. That'll be another boundary.

13:55This is better. Here we go now.

13:57Things starting to happen.

14:02Goes down the ground, and goes all the way.

14:05This is a very good over.

14:07Nice little counter-punch here by Avishka Fernando.

14:14Oh, there we go. Right-hander, all the way.

14:18They're testing those outfielders, though.

14:20They're giving them a little bit of hope.

14:26Pushing it through by Mohamed Nabi.

14:28No intention of keeping it down.

14:30Always want to go up in the air.

14:32That was a good attempt.

14:34Just not good enough.

14:40Keep it wicked.

14:43Can't get through.

14:45Chapman's quick across the grass, but

14:47the outfield even quicker.

14:52Gets enough. That's a good shot.

14:54Got underneath it.

14:58And a very useful boundary.

15:00Bings up the 50 partnership.

15:04That's six.

15:07Just got underneath it.

15:09And hits it with the wind.

15:13Sliding down the leg side.

15:16And all he did was help it and picked it up.

15:19You need to target someone, and he's the ideal candidate.

15:25That time, you need to get on.

15:27You need to be 100-plus at this stage.

15:34He slices that between point and short.

15:37Third man takes them to 100.

15:43Nice, nice.

15:45Swivels. Gets it square.

15:47That is a lovely shot from Abhishek Fernando.

15:50Giddy up, he says.

15:54Hammered. In the gap. Four more.

15:58It's flowing at the moment.

16:00And Abhishek Fernando is enjoying himself.

16:05Gets it through. Will it go all the way?

16:10Imukti, very quick across the grass.

16:12It's come quickly.

16:14Come very quickly.

16:17Picked it up. That's six.

16:19So they're made up for the few dots early in the over.

16:21And up with the rake.

16:24Whether it's space where he picks up or the slog sweep on the leg side.

16:28An element of risk because he turned that previous delivery.

16:32It appeared to be a leg break, but he covered it well.

16:36Tossed up again. That'll be another six.

16:39Abhishek Fernando.

16:42He's having a party out there.

16:45Goes wider and he's got an answer.

16:47Through the line. Taking long off on.

16:51That's a good shot.

16:57Up and over.

17:03And he's going with the angle.

17:06I told you the red flags are out.

17:08Like Ajapna Kings are moving, they're motoring.

17:11They've gone onto the highway.

17:15Again. This is even bigger.

17:19100 plus metres for sure.

17:21That's how effective this batting has been.

17:26Third one. Will he get it?

17:30Yes, he will. Charita Salanka.

17:34Enjoying Imukti.

17:37Last 16 balls, Russell. 55 runs.

17:40And that is mayhem.

17:42The point I was trying to make was the speed they're bowling at.

17:45Imukti is bowling in the hundreds.

17:47He's giving it pace.

17:50Goes again. That'll be his 50.

17:53Chapman will watch it go over his head.

17:56Go in the over and the 150 is off the board.

17:59A bit too easy now for Chapman.

18:02That's his fourth half century in LPL cricket.

18:13That is just lambaste through mid-wicket for four.

18:21Great shot. There is protection.

18:24And that's brilliantly fielded.

18:26But unfortunately, at the last moment, it just trickles into the fence.

18:32And that is yet another boundary.

18:38Take it. Take it.

18:40Nicely judged catch in the deep.

18:42The breakthrough they needed.

18:43They bring back the big man.

18:45Mustafa Zerrahman to strike.

18:47He's answered the call.

18:49It seemed like he got it towards the toe end of the bat.

18:53Not really.

18:57Just looked to slice the ball off the face of the bat.

19:01Couldn't get the placement right.

19:04A 50 from just 36 deliveries.

19:06It's 170 for four.

19:12Here's the chance.

19:13Here is the opportunity for Dambulla.

19:16It's taken comfortably.

19:18And there's always a twist in a T20 match.

19:26The over was economical and that's why

19:29he was able to have the batter trying an extravagant stroke.

19:33A very good innings from Mavishka Fernando of 80.

19:37From just 34 deliveries.

19:39It's 177 for five.

19:46Gone.

19:48Needed a direct hit.

19:49Got one.

19:52So he threw the ball.

19:53And that was intelligent.

19:56Aimed at the stumps.

19:58Aligned the body.

19:59And then hurled the ball onto the stumps.

20:03Needless.

20:05Shot stayed.

20:06Came to an end.

20:07Threw that run out.

20:08Scored nine.

20:09It's 182 for six.

20:15Just out of reach and will run away for four.

20:17That released the nerves.

20:19That released the pressure.

20:20There's an over left here.

20:22188 for six.

20:26That's not going to be wided.

20:28That is not going to be wided.

20:31And we are down to the last delivery.

20:34A dot here will see us have a super over.

20:38This is out the ground.

20:40He waited for the last delivery.

20:42But in the end, it's Juggner who win by four wickets.

20:49They needed one of the last.

20:51Allen went long.

20:53Yeah, he was looking for that net, wasn't he?

20:58Had the full straight in.

21:00Even before the ball was ball.

21:03Got that net.

21:04And he went after it.

21:07They were inserted were Dumbledore.

21:10191 for two.

21:12That was always going to be a competitive total.

21:14Yes, a very good batting surface.

21:16Pereira exceptional.

21:17Unbeaten 102 of just 52 deliveries.

21:21The pick of the bowl is Njanjai Da Silva.

21:23Two for 25 and he's four.

21:25The Juggner Kings took some time to get going.

21:27But when they did, my word, was that entertaining.

21:30197 for six.

21:32They win it with nothing to spare.
