One match tomorrow, Kandurata play Nagenhira at the same ground and I, Suneer Chowdhary, will be back with its live coverage. Till then have a very good evening ahead!

Dilshan: Didn't start well, lost too many wickets, we needed to get to 160. The pitch had slowed down, it is the third man here but Upul batted well. We need to better our fielding, back-to-back matches also did not help.

Kandamby: We started the game well, Oram and Umar bowled well, as did the spinners. Fernando has now been playing for Sri Lanka for a long time, is a wicket-taking bowler. We wanted to start well in the tournament and we are happy to win it.

Fernando, the man of the match That was our strategy, me and Gul to bowl the slog overs, short and slower ones was what I had planned. The slower balls had a lot more bounce than other pitches and that is what I tried to do.

While it was an excellent show from Uva in both their batting and bowling departments, the Basnahira side looked a tad flat; they never got going with the bat and did not show too much verve on the field defending their mediocre score. Probably to do with playing two games in a row, Dilshan had spoken about wanting to recover quickly for this game at the toss.

Fernando scalped five wickets after Jacob Oram had grabbed the top three while Upul Tharanga caressed his way to an unbeaten 65. One of them will be the man-of-the-match, which we will soon know as we await the presentation.

Just two more needed.
