12.30 am Apologies for the technical difficulties toward the end of the match. Viiking pull it out on the last ball though to create two points of space at the top of the table. Galle stay stuck at the bottom with one more chance to get to four points and make the final playoff spot come down to net run rate with Kandy Tuskers.
Come back tomorrow for another doubleheader. I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

Jayasuriya to Samiullah Shinwari, SIX, Shinwari gets the meaty full toss at waist height that he needed to crack a mile over deep backward square for the six that clinches victory by four wickets off the final ball.

0
Jayasuriya to Samiullah Shinwari, no run, full on the stumps, thick edge to third man, non-striker sets off for the game-winning run but Shinwari turns him back, seemingly more interested in hitting a six than winning the match. Could we have a super over?

Jayasuriya to Samiullah Shinwari, FOUR, dropped! Dhananjaya Lakshan with another cringeworthy effort at long-on. Full on the stumps, flicked loosely in the air toward Lakshan jogging to his right, he covers the 15 yards with no issue but then produces a terribly clumsy effort reaching across his body as the ball slips through his hands at waist height. 6/10 on difficulty and he parries it into the rope. Shinwari can't contain his laughter. Neither can the bowler, but for different reasons.
