00:00A little bit of swing.
00:17It's somebody who bowls back of a length, but depends a lot on change-ups.
00:21That's his strength.
00:22That's his go-to ball.
00:23Found a vacant area, and he's going to be off and running.
00:30The ball does plug, but it has enough legs to get to the boundary, and so Dick Miller
00:34does find one early on, four without loss.
00:40Just flipped over the mid-wicket.
00:41It should plug in the very, very damp outfield, but does have enough to go to the fence, so
00:49another boundary off the final delivery.
00:55And out!
00:59He's a good player near Ashan Dick Miller, that's for sure, but tonight has been a struggle.
01:06Just get pitched more towards the leg stump.
01:10Appeared to be swinging back to the left-hander, just completely cramped him.
01:16Fairly simple catch to the man at mid-on, out for 10.
01:20Goal now on 12 for 1.
01:25Nice shot.
01:28Authentic cricket stroke from Sain.
01:35Or, it goes all the way.
01:39Or you do that.
01:41And again, look at the length.
01:43Just gets underneath it quickly.
01:45Takes more pace off, but doesn't matter.
01:49That's in the air.
01:53Taken!
01:55That is a big wicket.
01:57Frustrated him, went across the line.
02:00He's not there to play that shot.
02:03He knew it straight away.
02:07Simple catch to the skipper as well.
02:09What a bowling change, what a big wicket.
02:13He goes for 3, it's 25 for 2.
02:20Risk, and he's been rewarded, the youngster.
02:28Oh, that is a pump.
02:30And has cleared everything.
02:34Sits deep in the crease, stays still, gets that front foot out of the way.
02:40Strong boy, good timing.
02:47Oh, a lovely shot.
02:49Good shot.
02:51That's Radha Paksa, he gave himself room to carve it over the offside.
02:58That looks close, that looks close.
03:01And Dhoni Belal again has the final lap.
03:04That was way too full for a river sweep.
03:07There was no outside the yardstop at all.
03:11Straight down the line, I missed it.
03:13Tim Seifert will have a chat, and they go upstairs.
03:17Here's the confirmation.
03:21Hitting in line.
03:23And crashing to the middle of the middle.
03:26Goal marbles, 52 for 3.
03:30Oh, he's cheeky, he's clever.
03:34Held his nerve and just touched it.
03:38Oh, down the ground, down the ground.
03:42We knew it was coming.
03:45And it has come, in style.
03:49Let the arms do the work.
03:52Brilliant by Baruka.
03:55Again.
03:58Bigger and better.
04:0117 off the over so far, 2 balls remaining.
04:04And suddenly, that run rate, almost 7.
04:08Ball in change.
04:10That's area.
04:12And that disappeared.
04:14A great start to the over.
04:16He's turning it on, Raja Paksa.
04:18He's a power hitter.
04:20He can hit sixes, he can clear the boundary.
04:24And he is a very useful batter of the order.
04:27And he's now demonstrating it.
04:31And that's big, that is big.
04:33He is enjoying himself, I'll tell you.
04:36He is picking his spots and he's hitting sixes for fun.
04:40Never looked to over hit the ball.
04:42Just tightened it beautifully for six.
04:56That's in the air.
04:57And taken.
04:58This is a big wicket.
05:00He was living dangerously.
05:02He's been removed.
05:04Clever bowling by young Vijay Sundara.
05:07Took pace off.
05:09Didn't give Baruka the pace he was looking for.
05:12Found the fielder.
05:16That's 93 for 4.
05:20Oh, that's the wrap.
05:22And has it gone all the way?
05:23It has.
05:24This man's extra pace can work against him.
05:29Very well crafted stroke.
05:31Look at the way he pulls his weight back to be able to get back on the ball.
05:37And he kept going.
05:40100 on the board for the loss of 4 wickets.
05:42Into the 14th over.
05:48That's into the gap.
05:50And 4 runs.
05:54Now that's a slow one.
05:56And that's taken in the deep.
05:58That is clever bowling.
06:00Following up a quick delivery with a slow bounce into the pitch.
06:04Mohammed Waseem the catcher.
06:06Usually, this stage of the game, the captains tend to have a short fine leg.
06:13But that was conventional fine leg.
06:15Went straight to the fielder.
06:19That was his personal score.
06:20It's 109 for 5.
06:25That's the boundary.
06:26That's the break he needed.
06:32Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
06:33That's 4.
06:34Hit very hard.
06:39Yes, he does.
06:40But Braga Marambo is in the way.
06:43Shadab gets his man.
06:44That was slower.
06:46The shot's on.
06:47The reverse.
06:48Just got to get it over his head.
06:50It's short third man.
06:51But he can't.
06:53And he's fuming at himself.
06:55He's gone for 44.
06:57That was a 132 for 6.
06:59That's it.
07:01Oh, he drags that.
07:02Has he got enough?
07:03No, he hasn't.
07:05That's an easy catch.
07:06And would you believe it?
07:07Shadab's on a hat-trick again.
07:10The line's good.
07:12Goes the slog sweep.
07:15Cannot clear that boundary.
07:18Cleverly bowled.
07:19Slower.
07:20And making him fetch it.
07:23Not good enough today.
07:26Gone for north.
07:27132 for 7.
07:31Good shot.
07:32Good shot.
07:33Done it clean again.
07:35It's not easy to hit a patirana in that fashion.
07:42He's got it over.
07:43Has he?
07:44No, he hasn't.
07:47Wider.
07:48Slower delivery.
07:49Wider.
07:50Slower delivery.
07:52Angelo Pereira.
07:53A well-judged catch.
07:54And that's the end of the enege.
07:56Change of pace.
07:57A lot slower.
07:58Again, aiming for that wide line.
08:02The batsman hoping it gets out of reach.
08:07And class bowling at the death of Colombo.
08:10The enege, 13.
08:11138 for 8.
08:14Ball.
08:15Too good.
08:16Too good.
08:20Fast straight.
08:22Right in the block ball.
08:24Get this right to a new batsman.
08:26It's going to be extremely difficult to keep out.
08:29That's an absolute beauty.
08:31Tail back in.
08:33Rip that league peg out the ground.
08:35That's quick too.
08:37He's gone for north as well.
08:39138 for 9.
08:43Ball.
08:44He can't see goals.
08:46Too good.
08:49Have a look at this.
08:50That's the last place you want it as a tail ender.
08:54Swinging back in.
08:57Done for pace.
08:59What a way to finish.
09:01They got themselves into a position to get that 155, 160 maybe.
09:06But the Colombo strikers.
09:08Too hot.
09:09Patirana.
09:104 for 20.
09:12Way too good.
09:13And so was Chadab Khan.
09:17Made a big difference.
09:18Sidewards dismissal was the key.
09:20They got him just at the right time.
09:2344 of 38.
09:24But Raja Paksa's 35 of 15 was simply brilliant.
09:28He got them going.
09:30But just couldn't capitalise and push on from there.
09:34A few starts as you can see.
09:36Batsman getting the double figures.
09:39Probably sums up that surface as well.
09:41Enough there with the new ball.
09:43Enough spin.
09:46138.
09:48Too short from par in my opinion.
09:51Take nothing away from the Colombo strikers.
09:53They were brilliant.
09:54As I mentioned, continue to take wickets all the way throughout that innings.
09:59Their death bowling tonight was spot on.
10:03Patirana 4 for 20.
10:04Chadab Khan 2 for 20.
10:07Well, Alaghe was very good too.
10:11Good run.
10:17Good into bat.
10:18138 is what the Goal Marvels have got.
10:20So that would mean the Colombo strikers.
10:23139 required in 20 overs.
10:25Just under 7 and over.
10:27Strikers, favourites from here.
10:29The chase in a short while.
10:36Good run.
10:37Nice way to get off the mark.
10:41Oh wow.
10:44The pick-up.
10:48Pick-up at its best.
10:50Middle of the bat.
10:52Flat and goes the distance.
10:55The intentions are quite clear.
10:57Both the openers.
11:01Chance, chance.
11:03Taken.
11:05Siphoned at mid-arm.
11:07Just for a moment there he lost his footing.
11:10But he still clung on.
11:12So they strike early.
11:15This is the only delivery person.
11:16Full.
11:18Couldn't get the elevation right.
11:22The workhorse has the last laugh.
11:25Berang gone for 11.
11:26Colombo 14 for 1.
11:31That is a lovely stroke.
11:33The placement.
11:40Surely not this time.
11:41Not this time.
11:42It's such a dangerous line to bowl.
11:44Even when you have protection out there in the deep.
11:49That's a massive hit.
11:53Where's that gone?
11:56Have a look at this.
11:57Up and under.
11:58Gets the length.
12:00And whack.
12:03No matter where your fielders are when you hit them like that.
12:06That's 4.
12:07He squeezed that through.
12:10They're racing away right now.
12:11The Colombo strikers.
12:16No one at mid-wicket.
12:19To run away.
12:20Yeah.
12:22Big over.
12:2317 off in.
12:2455 for 1.
12:25The strikers.
12:29It's hard.
12:304.
12:31Hales gives it up.
12:32That's a strike.
12:33Hales gives it up.
12:34That was flying.
12:42That made him look very silly.
12:44How many shots did he try to play but ended up playing none?
12:49York himself.
12:50Got himself in no man's land.
12:52Yeah.
12:53He went cross bat.
12:54He wanted to sweep it.
12:55Class bowling.
12:56But horrible batting.
12:59Gone for 23.
13:0060 for 2.
13:01The strikers.
13:04Shot.
13:05Couldn't capitalise it.
13:06And that goes to the boundary still.
13:08That was asking to be hit away.
13:10And the moment was in.
13:11That is in style.
13:15That was the opportunity.
13:17And he capitalised.
13:18Pounced on it.
13:21Gave it a real pound.
13:23No chance for the fielder.
13:24An extra cover.
13:27Oh this is huge.
13:30I think it has cleared the boundary.
13:32Yes.
13:33What a fielder.
13:34He was going flying.
13:35I think that's...
13:37I'm not sure what that is.
13:38Side foot you think?
13:40Yes that is.
13:41Superman down there.
13:42Long off.
13:45Not completely out of the middle but he's so powerful.
13:47Gets enough on it.
13:51Maybe he's trying to just keep it in.
13:53Safe zone.
13:54Oh dear.
13:56You don't bust a shoulder or...
13:59Man, dangerous.
14:03Just a touch shoulder.
14:04Just a touch shoulder.
14:05Use of the fist.
14:10Wow.
14:11Well, two completely different shots.
14:13We saw power down the ground for six.
14:15This is all touch.
14:20This time.
14:21That's out.
14:25Well he's going to walk away I think.
14:27He's not thinking about reviewing it.
14:30Nice out of the hand.
14:32In the zone.
14:33Just completely misses it.
14:36That one looks dead.
14:39And very well made fifties.
14:41He'd have to go.
14:42Clumbo 109 for three.
14:46He whacks it.
14:48So much power.
14:50The ball has stood up.
14:52And Phillips.
14:54Has hit it so hard.
14:55So hard.
14:58Oh, flat six.
15:01Not much elevation but power.
15:05Adrian Phillips, he's understood the situation.
15:07We know that he has power.
15:11But the innings hasn't warranted him showing all of that.
15:14What it's need is a degree of responsibility.
15:17And he said I will take you close.
15:19I will hopefully take you home.
15:21But I'm not going to do anything silly.
15:26A common drive.
15:29An off drive.
15:31Slightly aerial and he picks up four.
15:33They get closer.
15:34They're one hit away now.
15:40Lovely.
15:41Lovely shot.
15:42Gaps all around.
15:43Samir Vikram up.
15:45Down on one knee.
15:48Finishes it off.
15:50Glenn Phillips.
15:51Less than run a ball but.
15:53Strikers needed such an innings.
15:55Just to make sure.
15:57That the nerves.
15:59Do not creep in.
16:01The calmness stays in the dugout.
