- BATSMENRB4s6sSR12.4 And Kusal is gone! It's a long hop and Kusal pulls this hard, but he can't clear the man at deep midwicket. 109/40.3 Top edges the sweep high into the air and Priyanjan perishes first ball! Was this necessary first ball? It's tossed a fair bit outside off and Priyanjan goes for a clearly premeditated sweep across the line. He gets nowhere near the pitch of it though, and can only top edge it straight up. The keeper comes under it for an easy take. 1/18.2 And he's done him in the flight! Drifting in to the stumps, pitches and spins past the edge. Dhananjaya plants his front foot well forward looking to clip this towards midwicket but loses his balance as the ball spins past him. And he has no chance of getting back to his crease before the bails are whipped off. 80/29.5 Oh confusion in the middle! And Banton looks like he's gone here! This is huge miscommunication in the middle. Kusal nudges this in front of square on the offside and calls for the run, Banton sets off the single, but Kusal then turns him back when he's almost halfway down the track. Sells his partner down the river there. 84/313.6 Juggled in the slips, but taken! This is a length ball, spinning away sharply and looks to have taken the outside edge, but Paul reviews immediately. Replays shows though that there is plenty of bat on that. Paul seemingly confused by the fact that his bat hit his boot just as he edge the ball. 114/519.2 Bowled him! Back of a length again and this is wicket to wicket, it holds up a little off the surface and Mathews goes for a swing across the line but misses. Ball clatters into the top of middle. 167/6Extras7 (lb 3, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-1 (Ashan Priyanjan, 0.3 ov), 2-80 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 8.2 ov), 3-84 (Tom Banton, 9.5 ov), 4-109 (Kusal Perera, 12.4 ov), 5-114 (Keemo Paul, 13.6 ov), 6-167 (Angelo Mathews, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.4 But he's got him here! Mathews makes no mistake. Back peddles from point to take good catch after Lewis had sliced his attempted drive. 28/12.6 And there goes another! Goes for the sweep, and it's top edged straight up! Chandimal comes under it and holds on well. 28/210.4 Oh he's bowled him! That's a huge wicket! This is flatter in trajectory and Seekkuge gets this to spin sharply off a length, Bopara defends but he doesn't cover the off stump line and it clips the outside of the stumps. Seekkuge whips out the floss celebration to rub salt in the wounds. 93/48.6 Big appeal and gone! This is being referred but it looked like it pitched in line and straightened. Looks like there isn't any bat involved either. Replay shows pitching in line, impact in line, wickets hitting, plumb! Review lost 82/315.2 Bowled him! Angled in from very wide of the crease, and it's the slower ball back of a length. Gunaratne shapes to hit this through cover point, but misses completely. 123/610.6 And it's almost the exact same dismissal! This is incredible from Seekkuge! Pitches on middle and leg this time, flat and on a length, Angelo stays back to defend this but it spins past the outside edge and clatters into the off. 93/516.4 And it's another! And it's a five-for for Vandersay! This is tossed up and Mendis goes for the big hit down the ground, but can't get a hold of it though and it goes straight up. Mid-off comes around to take the catch. 124/915.5 Run out! Back of a length and keeps low, pushed through extra cover region. They come back for the second but the throw from the deep is a good one, so Vimukthi is turned back half way. 124/716.3 High and out! Goes for it, and he does get under this but it catches the bottom half of the bat and it goes high but not very far. Midwicket takes an easy catch in the end. 124/816.6 Well it's not a hat-trick but it's the best figures in the LPL so far! This is a swing across the line that gets an under edge through to the keeper. Six for Vandersay and the Stars are through to the playoffs! 124/10Extras5 (lb 3, w 2)TOTAL124 all out (17 Overs, RR: 7.29)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Kennar Lewis, 2.4 ov), 2-28 (Minod Bhanuka, 2.6 ov), 3-82 (Charith Asalanka, 8.6 ov), 4-93 (Ravi Bopara, 10.4 ov), 5-93 (Angelo Perera, 10.6 ov), 6-123 (Asela Gunaratne, 15.2 ov), 7-124 (Nimesh Vimukthi, 15.5 ov), 8-124 (Sachindu Colombage, 16.3 ov), 9-124 (Kamindu Mendis, 16.4 ov), 10-124 (Al-Amin Hossain, 16.6 ov)
