And on that note it's a wrap from us. Many thanks to all those that kept me company in the comments, see you again tomorrow!
Thisara Perera: "If you look at our side it's getting better. We didn't do well in Dambulla and Kandy, but now we've clicked and we're doing well as a team. Our main target is to make it to the top two now."
Niroshan Dickwella: "It was [an experiment] today, I wanted to make some changes and give some opportunities to the other players. We were worried about our net run rate, so just focused on that initially. [bench strength?' We'll have some meetings and see. Jeffrey [Vandersay] bowled really well, so have to see the combinations. [Going forward the focus will be] more on spin, with the conditions and the wicket. I want our batters to get used to these wickets and even myself today, I was going nowhere. So we need to get our things together going forward."
Player of the Match goes to Matheesha Pathirana for his spell of 4 for 20: "I didn't think about my last few games, because it didn't go well for me. I want to thank my team for keeping my trust, and today I came into the game with a plan and executed it."
11.15pm So Colombo have put themselves in the perfect position to pip Jaffna for that top two position in the table, and they owe a debt of gratitude to Glenn Phillips, who captained this chase to perfection with an unbeaten 31 off 32. Muhammad Waseem's 50 off 44 was also crucial as Colombo never looked trouble at any point in this innings, or indeed the game. Earlier with the ball they kept Galle under lock and key and never let them free, as Pathirana ensured there would be no death over heroics to build on the good work done earlier by Binura, Wellalage and Shadab. Stay tuned, we'll have the post-match presentation shortly.

Arachchige to Samarawickrama, FOUR, Put away and that's the game! This was tossed up on off as the field came in, and Sadeera just swept it behind square with disdain. Colombo win by 7 wickets!

Akindu: "@madushka you really jinxed udana im the 1st innings with the "nous" thing. Duck out and now getting hammered above 10 an over" --- yeah not been his best game, but he's been a surprise package of sorts in this tournament IMO.
