Not the best way to win a final but the given the benefits it brings for the champion side, they will take it with both hands! Uva have also qualified for the Champions League T20 this season, becoming the 14th and final side to make it to the tournament.

11.59 pm: Oh gosh, just as it was turning out to be exciting, it's started pelting down. And it is heavy let me assure you. However, with five overs having been bowled, we should have a result and according to the DL score, Uva are 19 runs ahead!

5.1

Chameera to Prasanna, SIX, outside the off stump, short of length and it has been bludgeoned over long-on for another six!

End of the Powerplay overs, 31 runs have come off the last two overs. The required rate is down to eight an over. Chameera comes on now.

Munaweera has surpassed Mathews as the leading run-scorer in the tournament. Don't think anyone can surpass him now!

END OF OVER:
5 | 16 Runs | UvNxt: 57/1 (80 runs required from 60 balls, RR: 11.40, RRR: 8.00)

4.6

Mendis to Munaweera, no run, yorker length from Mendis and he is only able to dig it back to the bowler

4.5

Mendis to Munaweera, SIX, another one, this was more of a slog, but it still beats the long-on fielder who was trying to back-pedal, got nowhere close to it!

4.4

Mendis to Munaweera, SIX, with the turn and smoked away over long-off for a six! He came down the track and bull-dozed it inside out!

4.3

Mendis to Munaweera, no run, missed! run-out missed, drove it to mid-wicket, the non-striker had almost reached the striker's end before the batsman sent him back, Mendis fails to collect the throw

4.2

Mendis to Munaweera, no run, on the leg stump, tries to slog it over mid-wicket but misses
