Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: @himanshu_a30
That's all from us from the first of the two LPL games this evening. But don't forget to hop on to the action between Dambulla Giants and Kandy Warriors soon, with the latter in a must-win position. Until then, it is goodbye from Thilak, Vairavan and me, Himanshu!
Thisara Perera, the winning captain: "Really good for the youngsters. If we can play good cricket, we can play well. Anything can happen in cricket. Hopefully we can give something special. I have top five bowlers, so I am not bowling."
Angelo Mathews, the Stars captain: "We were not firing, so we had to change the batting order. One game remains, and we have got to go out there and win. We shifted Kusal and Banton hoping they would fire."
Tom Kohler-Cadmore is the Player of the Match: "You would always like a hundred, but the man thing is for me to take the team over the line. It is about the two points we have got tonight. All our players have hit form at the right time."
Time for the presentations
6.16pm Stars were never really in the chase, and repeated strikes by the Kings' bowlers meant they were wrapped up for 91 inside 16 overs. Only three batters got into double figures for Stars, as all young bowlers - Seales, Viyaskanth and Theekshana - delivered with the ball for Kings. By the way, this is also the biggest win by runs in the LPL.
Naveen-ul-Haq b Seales 4 (4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Naveen is the last man. Seales stays over the wicket.
Time-out now
PVD Chameera b Seales 2 (12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
Seales returns from over the wicket
END OF OVER:15 | 1 Run | CLS: 83/8 (111 runs required from 30 balls, RR: 5.53, RRR: 22.20)
