And with that it's a wrap from us. Kandy and Colombo have locked in a virtual knockout tie for tomorrow evening, which promises to be a cracker! Until then good night!

11.10pm Ravi Bopara is Player of the Match: With a score like this you either knock it off in 15 overs or you go right to the end. But yeah, it was the plan from the start [to make steady progress].

Stand-in Dambulla skipper Niroshan Dickwella: "It was disappointing to lose the last three games. We have to think about our batting and come back in the Eliminator." He adds that they have no news yet on the extent of Dasun Shanaka's injury.

Kandy captain Angelo Perera: "I think we have played really entertaining cricket throughout the tournament and tonight was no different. Most of our games have also been crunch games. [As for the game against Colombo] there's zero pressure. We've told the boys, just don't worry about qualifying, just enjoy your game."

Tinura: "When Warriors signed Bopara, my impression was "Okay, that's just another mediocre signing from Warriors". Boy I was wrong!"

10.55pm And Kandy live to fight another day! That was backs to the wall stuff and thanks to the steady heads of Ravi Bopara (59* off 50) and skipper Angelo Perera (29* off 22) they've pulled through here. A couple of their batters lost their heads, and Imran Tahir was threatening throughout, but the target was always low enough that they would get it if they went deep enough.

The win was of course built earlier on the work of their seamers, who picked up seven wickets between them, and despite Ramesh Mendis's best efforts with bat and the ball, Kandy persevered.

two needed off the final over. De Lange again.
