Another big win for Falcons, and Aura are almost certainly out of the playoffs now, because even if they win their last game, they need to win it by a huge- almost impossible - margin, given their net run rate. A disappointing finish for Mickey Arthur and Dasun Shanaka's team. Falcons just further establishing their cred as the best side in the tournament so far.
We'll catch you for tomorrow's games. Till then, take it easy.
