00:00We are still catching our breath from the previous game.
00:18Welcome everyone to Pallekhela International Cricket Stadium for Match 3 of LPL 5.
00:23The Candy Falcons taking on the Colombo Strikers.
00:36First runs.
00:37We'll have to have a look at that because it was very close to the ropes.
00:45I think it was just short though.
00:49He sliced that.
00:50Over cover.
00:51Wow.
00:52What a shot.
00:53Again.
00:54This time.
00:55This time an easier effort.
00:56Rajita sticks with that line.
00:57Sticks with that length.
00:58And it's a replay.
00:59Same same but different.
01:00Yep.
01:01I missed the last one.
01:02Ampoy missed the last one.
01:03He got this one.
01:04Absolute beauty again.
01:05Right length.
01:06Right line.
01:07That angle across the left hander.
01:08And on this occasion it sticks.
01:09Smart play by Ampoy.
01:10He's got it.
01:11He's got it.
01:12He's got it.
01:13He's got it.
01:14He's got it.
01:15He's got it.
01:16He's got it.
01:17He's got it.
01:18He's got it.
01:19He's got it.
01:20He's got it.
01:21He's got it.
01:22He's got it.
01:23He's got it.
01:24He's got it.
01:25He's got it.
01:26He's got it.
01:27He's got it.
01:28He's got it.
01:29He's got it.
01:30He's got it.
01:31He's got it.
01:32He's got it.
01:33He's got it.
01:34He's got it.
01:35He's got it.
01:36He's got it.
01:37He's got it.
01:38He's got it.
01:39He's got it.
01:40He's got it.
01:41He's got it.
01:42He's got it.
01:43He's got it.
01:44He's got it.
01:45He's got it.
01:46He's got it.
01:47He's got it.
01:48He's got it.
01:49He's got it.
01:51He's got it.
01:52Mathews.
01:53He's picked up a blind down.
01:54I thought he misjudged it but Mathews does really well.
01:57Wow.
01:58That is an absolute beauty.
02:00I cannot believe it.
02:04Thought it was gonna bound short.
02:06Angelo Mathews, the old boy, he's still got it.
02:09Dives forward.
02:10Gets his hands underneath it.
02:12This is an unbelievable catch.
02:15Reads it early.
02:16Takes off straight away.
02:19Oh yeah, good set of hands. Massive wicket for Kandy.
02:25He's gone for 17, it's 20 for 2.
02:32Oh lovely. Stands tall on his toes and he just punches it through, Clarky.
02:38Oh yeah, that's a beautiful shot. Nice way to get off the mark.
02:41Oh lovely. Sadeera Samaravikrama. What a way to start the inning. He's on to 10 already, 30 for 2.
02:56That's not smart bowling.
02:58That's probably the opposite to what we're after. There's angle there, angle of metre down the leg side. That's a big wide.
03:06Making it an outswinger. That's 4. Too straight, the angle into the pads working for Wasim.
03:16That's 6. The 50's on the board. Wasim is having a go, a real good go.
03:25He's picked it up again, another 6. Magnificent from Wasim. That ends the 4th, it's 61 for 2.
03:40Wasn't a great delivery to end the 0-1, spoil the 0-1. It was a lock pop. Sat for the backspin and was hit into the gap for 4 runs. Up to 5, it's 65 for 2.
03:53That's where he wants it, that's where he gets it and he will punish you all day if you get too straight.
04:04That's a delightful stroke, really is. He stood nice and tall and finds the gap.
04:10That's gone fine and that's gone for 4 as well. Two very different players, both extremely effective in the way they go about their work.
04:19Another big over, 13 from it, 78 for 2 at the end of the power play.
04:27That finds the gap, that's another boundary. They seem to have an answer for everything that's dished up to them this evening.
04:34They seem to have an answer for everything that's dished up to them this evening.
04:41He's found a gap, he's found a gap and the outfield will do the rest. That is brilliant placement.
04:48Is that close? Is that close? It's close enough.
04:54They needed that wicket.
05:00Having a chat, I'm pretty sure they'll go upstairs. It's a big wicket, big occasion in the game. He has to take it, yeah? He takes it.
05:09Wasim goes upstairs.
05:11Where did this pitch? In line? Yes, it is in line and it is hit.
05:18So eventually it's a good decision of Payasanta Ponseca on his debut in the LPL.
05:25Wasim, very well played, 32, Colombo 98 for 3.
05:28Wasim, very well played, 32, Colombo 98 for 3.
05:31Now they go for this time and it's gone through the game.
05:35Vanithu Hasaranga strikes again for the Canberra Falcons and he knows how big it is. Wasim first and now it's Glenn Phillips.
05:43I love that reaction, I love the celebration of Vanithu Hasaranga. Look at those eyes, look at the way he celebrates.
05:50Brilliant Rangan. Glenn Phillips knew nothing about it, went between bad and bad.
05:58And two wickets close to each other on 98 and Vanithu Hasaranga, look at the celebration.
06:05Glenn Phillips goes without scoring, 98 for 4 at the end of 9.
06:11Down the wicket and just over Longon for 6.
06:16For a moment I thought Longon was in business, but it just cleared him.
06:23Oh that time, he moved too far across. Would you believe it?
06:29They lost another wicket, they lost wickets close to each other.
06:32Colombo are losing that initiative they had.
06:37They've lost wickets at 98, now at 111 and Sathira Samarvikram at the man who has to go.
06:43Basically missed a straight one, possibly thinking that ball is going to skid on to the bat, it just gripped a bit.
06:51Sathira gone for 48, Colombo 111 for 5.
06:58He's bowling slower, searching for some turn, he might find the boundary, he does.
07:04So Shadab gets a boundary to finish the over, 7 runs of it, 12 down it's 118 for 5.
07:13Oh missed everything, but they get themselves 4.
07:22Good hit, gave himself room, one bounce for 4, they needed that.
07:27Oh it's gone all the way.
07:32Nicely played, he's done enough, that'll skid away, fast outfield.
07:35Lovely, good end to the over from Tisaraparera, 11 off it, 148 for 5 the Strikers.
07:48Out, out.
07:52So the powerblast does the trick for Candy.
07:56Yeah you can see what he was trying to do, the ball before it was wide, but this is what he wanted.
08:01He wanted to keep it away from the batsman's arc, aim for that wide line.
08:07This occasion he does get it perfect, probably just inside, gets that outside edge.
08:13That's a big wicket at the right time for Candy.
08:17He promised Shadab Khan 20 from 17 deliveries, but he's got to go, 149 for 6.
08:24Well this outfield is quick and hard, it just skips away at the ball.
08:33Pace taken off, oh would you believe it, another boundary.
08:39But when he does get something right, it goes wrong.
08:45That's all the way, he didn't even look up to see where it went, Karunaratne.
08:51He knew once it left the bat, it was out the ground.
08:5422 from a very long over, 17 gone, 170 for 6.
09:04This guy is brutal, this guy is brutal at the back end.
09:12That's 4 more, Middorf didn't see it initially and went the wrong way.
09:17But even if he went the right way, I'm not sure he was going to cut it off.
09:2112 from the over, 182 for 6.
09:28That'll go for 4 as well.
09:30That's Nshanaka, the man at Middorf, these two are doing some damage now.
09:34This partnership is flying, 37 from just 15.
09:40This will take some catching, this will take some catching.
09:44Good catch, very very good catch.
09:49Safe set of hands, that went so high.
09:52Two fielders underneath it, must have been a loud early call.
09:57Never easy, under lights, old white ball.
10:03Again another full toss, one at the maximum.
10:06Good safe set of hands, does well, calls it early, good technique as well.
10:14Pereira goes for 38, good knock, 190 for 7.
10:20But maybe that's the reason.
10:24Karuna Rakhnet ends it with a big one.
10:27So Colombo finish on 198 for 7, this is going to take some chasing.
10:33Yeah, good look at the batting card here for the Colombo Strikers.
10:37Again, a lot of players getting starts, that middle, that runs through the middle.
10:42Again, just the patience to get in at the start of your innings.
10:45Not look to go too hard, or contributing, or playing an important role.
10:49Building this total to a very very competitive 198.
10:53Two men who don't really go around the park very often, did tonight.
10:57Kassan Rajat, throwing it over 18 to the over.
11:00Dusman for Chimera, over 11.
11:02Again, the pick of them, Hasaranga picking up a couple of wickets.
11:05And Dasan Shanaka having to do the dirty work at the back end.
11:08Ending with one for 25.
11:10And that's it for tonight.
11:12Thank you for watching.
11:14See you next time.
11:2325.
11:29Well, they chased it down last night, the Candy Falcons.
11:32They're going to have to do it tough again tonight.
11:34Because they require 199 to win from their 20 overs.
11:38Don't go too far, we'll be back after the break.
11:41Here we go.
11:44Oh, a bit of movement.
11:48Really wasn't sure which way it was going, Chandimal.
11:53Fletcher goes down the ground.
11:55First boundary for Candy.
12:02Short hand jab.
12:04Another boundary.
12:06Moment was, he caught a hand to it, but...
12:09Would not take the sting off.
12:13Third boundary of the over.
12:16It's ended up inexpensive one.
12:1813 for none.
12:23Glenn Phillips, he'll pick it up.
12:25Because he's cracked it over his head.
12:27The power of Fletcher.
12:32Oh boy, oh boy, look at that travel.
12:3613 off the second.
12:38Candy, 26 for none after two.
12:43Over the top.
12:45It's Chandimal, that bottom hand comes through.
12:48And hit the first boundary for him today.
12:54He's got it, he's got it over.
12:56Four.
12:58Good end to the over from Candy's point of view.
13:0037 for no loss.
13:05Oh God, that's gone.
13:07I'm sure he's gone.
13:09Or at least he's not sure, he's waiting.
13:11Let's see, what do you think, Michael?
13:13Class bowling, I know that.
13:15Whether he's gone or not, he did him in the air.
13:17Did him with flight.
13:19Yes, it spun off the surface.
13:21He was way down the track.
13:23Did he get back?
13:25Oh no, he didn't.
13:27He didn't, he was well shot.
13:29So, Colombo has managed to get their first wicket.
13:32The dangerous Fletcher goes.
13:34Good piece of bowling.
13:36Very clever bowling by Villal again.
13:39It should be out here.
13:42He looked good, 24 off 12.
13:44It's 37 for one.
13:48There goes a sweep.
13:50Four off the first ball.
13:51Just a bit of drift onto the pads and straight away
13:54gets out the sweep.
13:58Oh, I tell you, that's bad.
14:00That is really bad.
14:02They've lost a second wicket, Candy.
14:04That got stuck in the pitch, I thought.
14:06Yeah, exactly like that ball that got Fletcher.
14:09The stomping, this one holds in the surface.
14:12Again, slows through the air.
14:14Pufferdast, have a look at this.
14:18Just enough.
14:19Inconsistent bounce.
14:21First one was there to sweep.
14:23This one's not there to cut.
14:25They know, he knows.
14:27Massive wicket.
14:29Tomodaris goes for four, 41 for two.
14:34That's a wide.
14:36It missed everything.
14:38It should run away to the boundary.
14:40I think it does, so that's a bonus.
14:42It's extra runs here.
14:47Beautiful shot.
14:49Again, he was great last night.
14:51Had a brilliant half century
14:53and he's giving himself a chance again tonight.
14:58This time on the left side, that's four.
15:01That's gone down to mid-wicket.
15:03That's not great bowling by Conor Upton.
15:08This is short and wide, that's four.
15:11Brilliant batting.
15:15Goes again, that's four more.
15:1716 runs of the first four deliveries.
15:20Chandimal's on fire.
15:22This time, where has that gone?
15:24Where else is four?
15:26Is it five fours already?
15:28This is turning out to be a real class act by Dinesh Chandimal.
15:36This time, that is safe.
15:38One bounce for four.
15:40He's picking his spots and he's working those angles.
15:43Good fast hands.
15:47Dragged it from outside the off-down.
15:49This might be taken.
15:51Phillips, he's done his bit.
15:54That's what he was after.
15:56That's what Tisara Pereira wanted.
15:58It's so important that Glenn Phillips have struck gold.
16:10Yeah, Ganny, look to that boundary.
16:12Wanted a maximum.
16:14Phillips tosses it up
16:16That's a massive wicket.
16:24Outside edge.
16:26That'll be a boundary.
16:28They need a bit of luck.
16:30That was a big scalp.
16:34Bowling.
16:36Shadabhan into the action.
16:47You know the reason why the wicketkeeper was so confident.
16:55And the right decision.
16:58There was nothing behind.
17:01And that's why he has to walk back.
17:03Got overbalanced.
17:05Kamindu Mendes goes for seven.
17:07Candy in a spot of bother here.
17:09Eighty for four.
17:13Just worked the angle beautifully.
17:15Angelo Matthews.
17:17Helped the ball on its way.
17:23That's the problem he's been facing for a long time.
17:26Baccarana.
17:28He's a slinger.
17:33Oh, he's struggling.
17:35So is the wicketkeeper.
17:38Another one way down the leg side.
17:45Oh, beautiful stroke.
17:47Beautiful.
17:51Talk about the timing.
17:53Brings the hunter up.
17:58A bit of room.
18:00Created with that footwork.
18:02By Hasaranga to be able to hit the ball into the gap for four runs.
18:07It's the four wickets down.
18:11Look at that.
18:13Again, the experience.
18:15Angelo Matthews getting the placement spot on.
18:21Oh, that sounded so sweet.
18:25Into the grass bags.
18:27Angelo Matthews on fire.
18:29Yeah, he's full of confidence.
18:31Picking his man, picking his area.
18:35Certainly does.
18:37Oh, extra cover.
18:39And one bounce boundary.
18:40This is a massive over.
18:42And 50-pounds should be one ball to go to end the 13th.
18:48Make it.
18:51Make it 23.
18:53Massive over when considering the situation of the game.
18:5713 down, 137 for four.
19:02One hander.
19:04Long on fielder.
19:06And takes it.
19:07That's a massive wicket.
19:09And Pedro Fernando strikes in the third over.
19:11And back to the big wicket of Angelo Matthews.
19:14That's what they needed.
19:16Exactly what Colombo looking for.
19:18It's been a brilliant over so far.
19:20Add a wicket to it.
19:22You just never know the experience.
19:24Angelo Matthews wanted to finish the over with a boundary.
19:27Again, taking the ball across the right hander.
19:30Low on the bat.
19:32He knew it straight away.
19:34He didn't get it.
19:35Safe set of hands at long on.
19:37Very important wicket.
19:39Matthews has got to go.
19:41Out for 25, off 20.
19:43140 for five now, Candy.
19:47Shot.
19:49Straight away.
19:51Off the mark.
19:53With the boundary.
19:55That was a loose delivery by Shadab Khan.
19:57Straight away.
19:59Shot.
20:01Down the ground.
20:03Long on.
20:05And we have a son.
20:07The two central batsmen.
20:09Angelo Matthews first.
20:11And now, this time, it's Wanindu Hasaranga.
20:13A risk versus reward.
20:15Again, the late spin.
20:17He gets the over.
20:19An important over.
20:21And he picks up the wicket.
20:23The big one.
20:25Again, it's missed time.
20:27But what a wonderful piece of fielding at long on.
20:29Long hop.
20:31Any other day, Wanindu Hasaranga would have smashed it over
20:33with wicket at long on.
20:35But it was in.
20:37What a catch.
20:39Under pressure.
20:41Skipper Wanindu, gone for 25.
20:43Candy, 146 for six.
20:45Oh, balled in.
20:47Balled in.
20:49That's a skimming on.
20:51And all of a sudden, Shadab Khan strikes it.
20:53And that's a massive wicket.
20:55Again, what he does so well.
20:57Accurate.
20:59Straight at the pegs.
21:01Batsmen misses.
21:03He hits.
21:05Out of the hands.
21:07Slides on.
21:09Skids through.
21:11Does him for pace off the pitch.
21:13And there's another one.
21:15Salman Ali Agha, gone without scoring.
21:17146 to seven, Candy.
21:19Goal.
21:21That's close.
21:23Has to be.
21:25Oh, brilliant.
21:27Out of nowhere, Shadab Khan strikes three times
21:29in three deliveries.
21:31Nothing.
21:32I'll tell you what, Michael Clarke,
21:34that looks plumb in front for me.
21:37Comes in line.
21:40Medals down.
21:42Yes, legs down.
21:44And Shadab Khan gets a hat-trick
21:46in LPL season five
21:48and definitely the hero of the day so far.
21:50Good decision by the on-field umpire
21:52making his debut in LPL.
21:54Under pressure.
21:56And young Pawan Ratnayake
21:58playing his first game,
22:00gone without scoring.
22:02146 for eight.
22:06Ball game.
22:08This time it was arm delivery.
22:10What a turnaround
22:12for the Colombo Strikers
22:14and young man does the job for the Strikers.
22:16This young man has been brilliant tonight.
22:18Change of pace.
22:20Have a look at the speed.
22:22It slows through the air.
22:24Tosses it up.
22:26He does the batter through the air.
22:28Good seam.
22:30Straight at the pegs.
22:32Off air.
22:34Bring on the left-arm spinner.
22:36Dasun Shanaka, hero from yesterday.
22:38Gone for five.
22:40146 for nine.
22:43Oh!
22:45It has to be.
22:47Dasun Roy,
22:49he could not even bring the bat on time
22:51and surely he's taken it upstairs.
22:53He has to.
22:55Naked eye.
22:57Plumb in front again.
22:59Maybe the height.
23:00The decision.
23:02Indication.
23:04The wicket-keeper is not moving to the left side
23:06and crashing to the mid-line leg.
23:08What a comeback by the Colombo Strikers.
23:10At one point,
23:12they were going it nicely with Candy Falcons
23:14with Angelo Matthews
23:16and Vanidou Hassanam.
23:18But they lost
23:20with the wind-whistle of Angelo Matthews.
23:22Ever since then,
23:24six wickets for seven runs in 12 deliveries.
23:26What a win by the Colombo Strikers
23:28winning by 51 runs.
23:30What a win by the Colombo Strikers
