- BATSMENRB4s6sSR3.1 Zipped through to hit off stump. 96ks slider came out of the front of the hand almost like an inswinger. Gunathilaka was back in the crease and tried to guide it to third. Wanted to play late but the pace on the ball made it too late and he didn't lay bat in the end 18/113.4 full and wide. Fernando gets under it and plays it aerially towards deep extra cover but fails to clear the boundary rider 126/2Extras7 (lb 2, nb 1, w 4)TOTAL191/2 (20 Overs, RR: 9.55)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Danushka Gunathilaka, 3.1 ov), 2-126 (Nuwanidu Fernando, 13.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR4.6 Overpitched slower ball does the trick. 115ks around off, Nissanka read the length well but couldn't elevate it over Nabi's head. Got it off the toe of the bat. Dip might have played a part too. The batter lunges on one knee in resignation before leaving 36/23.4 Edge off the flaying drive carries to short third! The Fizz might've rolled his fingers on this, it was floating wide of off and on a full length. Mendis reached out and tried to lift it over the infield but got a thinnish edge that ballooned low to Fernando 30/15.2 Nabi slows it down and Rossouw swipes it right up, the cross-batted shot went back and swirled a bit in the air but Perera managed to squat under and take it before tumbling on his back. Was a flighted fullish ball at 80ks at which Rossouw charged and tried to deposit square of the wicket. Prez happy 36/317.6 full and wide. Avishka goes for the big one but couldn't middle it. Long-off runs in and takes a comfortable catch near the 30-yard circle. Is there a twist in the tale? 177/516.2 full outside off. Asalanka looks to go over extra cover but fails to clear the fielder at the boundary line. Some respite for Jaffna 170/418.3 a direct hit! And Dhananjaya is out. Omarzai dabbed a length ball towards point and set off. It went straight to the fielder who took aim and nailed the direct hit at the striker's end. Dhananjaya was nowhere in the picture 182/6Extras9 (lb 2, w 7)TOTAL197/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.85)Fall of wickets: 1-30 (Kusal Mendis, 3.4 ov), 2-36 (Pathum Nissanka, 4.6 ov), 3-36 (Rilee Rossouw, 5.2 ov), 4-170 (Charith Asalanka, 16.2 ov), 5-177 (Avishka Fernando, 17.6 ov), 6-182 (Dhananjaya de Silva, 18.3 ov)
