Colombo Strikers vs Kandy Falcons _ Full Match Highlights _ Eliminator 1 _ Lanka Premier League
Transcript
00:00Colombo Strikers taking on the Candy Falcons. It's the Eliminator. Live from the R Premadas International Stadium.
00:30Expected to wobble a little bit with the mugginess as well as slight wind blowing across from the off to the leg side, from the pavilion to the scoreboard.
01:01Hit straight as possible. That's a good shot. Slapped it away, giving himself some room, extra cover, no chance as it's a long off.
01:11He went backwards this time. No backwards step for six of the innings.
01:19Pick up shot. Deep into the crease. Eyes to the line, eyes to the land. Swing over midfield.
01:27Brilliant. Putting the pressure on the Candy Falcons.
01:31In the air as possible. Is it a catch? Mohamed Harris thinks it's in. Diving forward and Mohamed Wasif is not moving around.
01:40I'm sure two umpires will have a conversation. This looks really really close. Diving forward never easy.
01:48The length not there. He gets bored of waiting for it to come to him. Hence he drags it across.
01:54He doesn't wait. He comes forward. Now the umpire will have to decide. But the fingers underneath it. It goes into his hands.
02:06Wasif has to go. No runs for him. Mohamed Wasif has gone for 10, 25 for 1.
02:12That was so poor from Gurbaz because he sold him down the river. This is unbelievable. Glenn Phillips thought he had the gap.
02:28He got a response and then for some reason Gurbaz thought he was going back home.
02:36Initially that's what he's called in front of the square. Gurbaz takes two feet and says no.
02:43Miscommunication at its best. Rightly so. He's a little bit about himself.
02:50Gone without scoring. Colombo 25 for 2.
02:55Off that run out. Nice stop. Through extra cover by Nipun Dhananjaya.
03:01And he gets the off the mark with a beautiful cover drive. Nicely played Nipun.
03:08He's an elegant player isn't he? This left-hander.
03:15That's in the air. Straight to the fielder. Wicket number 3.
03:21That's a great start for Kendi. Balls, a bouncer and a well-directed one.
03:27The battle wasn't in control. Top edge in and a safe fielder Ramesh Magnus took it easily.
03:34He's jubilant. It was looking good for Dhananjaya for his 14. Now he's walking back. 42 for 3.
03:45Oh what a hit. What a hit that was.
03:52That's a good hit. Once again into the gap.
03:57Beautifully placed. I think he dived over it. The first boundary in two overs.
04:09Oh this time that's too simple. That is a soft dismissal.
04:16He's been trying to give himself room outside leg stump to hit the ball through the offside.
04:23But here when it doesn't present itself in that area that he wants it in, it's almost as if he's lost and he's not quite sure what to do.
04:32Gurbaaz eventually presents a simple chance to Hassaranga. Goes for 30. They're in a spot of bother here at Colombo. 82 for 4.
04:41Oh that time. Throw him. It's off the pad. A wrong one. Vanudu Hassaranga on fire.
04:51He was always going to be key. Shut up. Undone by his own speciality. The googly.
05:02Shut up goes without scoring. Colombo now 82 for 5.
05:08At the moment Colombo's strikers are in trouble. Though this is very well driven for 4.
05:19Which has completely made him curtail his normal stroke play. This is Tyrell using the pace. It's the width and the pace that Sadeer Samarvikraman pounced on.
05:31Oh lots of turn. Slightly off line. And boundary conceded here.
05:41Colombo's strikers swept. And swept fine. That beats the fielder and it's a boundary.
05:50I'm with you.
05:53Should be a boundary. Once you beat that fielder at shot fine leg, you'll have a chance to score a boundary.
06:07Oh there's 4. That'll do nicely. That'll do very nicely.
06:12He's got that fine. The outfield. Very, very quick. That's a handy boundary early on in the over.
06:20Doesn't. He goes leg side and bang. Exactly what they needed. What a way to finish the over.
06:30Oh he's got one. He's got one. Gee whiz. How hard is that end. That's a metre to the right.
06:38That's a metre to the right of the sweeper on the offside.
06:46Chance. This should be taken. And as Dinesh Changamal does the work, it will mean that Cesaro Pereira will walk to the wicket.
06:54But a lovely little innings from the all-rounder. He's done a steady job for his side.
06:59Booked for one. Went hard. But unfortunately on this occasion, straight up in the air.
07:03This had to steady himself and be aware that Matthews was coming in as well. It's been a very good over this from Dasan Shanuka.
07:14In fact, it was an exceptional over. Just 5 from it and the wicket of Wlada Gay for 28. Colombo, 150 for 6.
07:21What is that? High into the night sky. This will take some catching. Oh. Out. Well held. Fletcher in the deep.
07:32Into that night sky. Nicely bowled. Paints off out the back of the hand. Again, it's the right play. Looking for that boundary.
07:41It picks out the man. He's not going to drop that Fletcher.
07:45And Samara Rikwama goes for an exceptional 62. It's 157 for 7.
07:50Well this will fall into vacant land, will it? No. Held. And still Pereira will stand at the non-striker's end.
08:03Fielding's been exceptional tonight. Candy, here's another look at it. High into that night sky. He had to do some work on the boundary. Comfortable. Does it easy.
08:14So Vijasundara goes without scoring. Colombo almost bowled out here. 157 for 8.
08:21Oh. Pace taken off. And so a bye will be run. Candy will finish with the momentum. Their last two overs were exceptional.
08:32But I tell you what. 159 is nothing to turn your nose up at. Not in an eliminator. 160 is the number that's required.
08:41Gurbaaz struggled for his 30 of 29. Philip's unfortunately run out. And he's the 4 man.
08:48Samara Rikwama played exceptionally well. 62 from 45 years. Well supported by Yantunit Lalagai. 159. That's what they have.
08:58This bowling performance. All the bowlers playing their part. Again, the use of the captain. Leading from the front.
09:04He's been brewing in the last couple of games with the ball. He was on tonight. Took two very important wickets.
09:13It's the Laika Jaffna Kings that await the winner of this contest. Wanindu Hasaranga's men, the Candy Falcons, they require 160 to make it to Qualifier 2.
09:25Don't go too far. We're going to be back in a bit.
09:28That's helping perform better and better in this tournament.
09:34Nice start. Tough movement. He always gets that extra bounce. You will find that with Binru Fernando.
09:43There we go. That's massive. With the swing he goes and into the stands.
09:52He was ready for it. Shimmy down the track and just hit the ball on the up and it kept going.
10:01That's a confident start from a confident player.
10:05Runs behind him. Strike rate very good. He knows he's been scoring well.
10:11This one slice. He has an opportunity. Who wants it though? Third man. Brilliant. Well taken. Sudeera Samarvikrama.
10:24He chanced his arms once again on a delivery which was angling away. Only sliced the ball and a good take. Good grab by Sudeera. He's having a good game.
10:39Disappointing from Chandimal. 1-6 and out. 6-for-1 Candy Falcons.
10:47You know he's going to do that. He's cheeky. Two sixers in the over and a wicket. Candy Falcons are 12-for-1.
11:00He doesn't need much time before he starts improvising.
11:09That's four. Two straight. Fletcher gets the bottom edge and it runs away. 18-for-1 after two.
11:19Lovely shot. Good use of the feet. Couple of bouncers. That'll skip away as well.
11:28Out. Taken. Slow ball and a wonderful catch at short square leg.
11:34This is Vijay Sundaram.
11:54Harris is gone for 10. 22-for-2.
11:58Sneaks through. Lucky Fletcher.
12:06Flashes. No third man. One bounce for four.
12:14Not this time. Off the middle.
12:18Goes all the way.
12:22The length was good too. Allowed him to free his arms.
12:27And that hit was a brilliant one.
12:31I've been watching Vijay Sundaram. I like the fact that he charges in and looks to hit the deck.
12:38Catch. Catch. Catch. And the moves are getting better and better from Vijay Sundaram.
12:52He's vibrant. Couldn't get the elevation. Managed to hit the ball straight to Shadan.
13:00And look at those moves from the youngster.
13:03Loving life. Vijay Sundaram.
13:07Fletcher gone for 20. 38-for-3.
13:12Big one. Oh, just over. Just over.
13:17Just over. For a moment I thought Samara Vikram was in business.
13:23Back for length. It's there to play the full shot. But he goes up. He goes aerial.
13:27And thankfully just gets enough on it.
13:31You see Angelo Matthews go straight down. Talk to his partner and say right now we cannot afford to lose another wicket.
13:41Batting. Very good batting. This occasion he gets it right.
13:45Gets front foot. Gets his front leg outside the line. So he misses it. He can't be out OBW.
13:51And sweeps well.
13:53Goes over. Come on. That's safe. That's four.
13:56See this is what Patanjali brings to the table. He can be a luxury.
14:02Oh good bouncer. That's a quick bouncer. That's out. That is out.
14:07They speak about what this man can do.
14:10And he's gone for two boundaries. But look at the wicket he gets.
14:14153.6 k's. That is quick.
14:19What a wicket this is. Watch that skid off. It's the perfect height.
14:24Takes the glove and he's got to go.
14:27Love for them. Kathleen Todrick 64 for 4.
14:3064 for 4.
14:48And he has returned the favour.
14:53And how about that catch.
14:56He's safe as houses Hussain. I haven't seen him dropping any.
15:01Wow.
15:03Candy Falcons in trouble.
15:06With 65 for 5.
15:10Good shot. Good choice. And goes for a 6.
15:14Good choice. Been taken.
15:16Sort of a release from all of a sudden. 9 o'clock. That's a good shot.
15:20Chathuranga D'Souza is very strong through Xhaka. I told you about it.
15:24Smashed by his partner for a boundary.
15:29Again. Oh. One catch.
15:32Shadabkan. You cannot keep it off the game.
15:35That was going for a boundary and from thin air. He plus it.
15:42But as a bowler and as a fielder.
15:45He's giving everything. What a take that was.
15:48That ball was trembling.
15:51Shot stay of Chathuranga D'Souza.
15:54Comes to an end.
15:56He scored 9. And his team in a bit of strife.
15:5983 for 6.
16:02Slower delivery. In the gap.
16:05Glenn Phillips does the chasing.
16:07They said a penalty would go.
16:09Oh. Take a look at that for a spin. Hussain Bolt would be happy to see that.
16:18Boundary.
16:21Googly.
16:23And goes the distance.
16:25Fix it in full.
16:27And hammers it all along.
16:30Double the wicket.
16:32That has cleared mid-off.
16:34That is a big hit. That's a good hit.
16:37Ball spinning away.
16:39Gets to the pitch of it.
16:41Hits through the line. Hits with the spin.
16:43It's a safe shot.
16:45Yes, I know it's in the air. There's some risk. But.
16:48Got you.
16:49He plays that beautifully.
16:534. Short and wide.
16:55That's a good start to the over.
16:59That's it.
17:00Square of the wicket.
17:02Is it 4? It is.
17:08Again.
17:09Sliced. 4.
17:11See. It's the wind.
17:14D'Angus and Shanika loves wind.
17:18Little chip over the ball.
17:20I said that's 4.
17:22Now this is the problem sometimes.
17:25The extra pace can also be your friend.
17:30Short ball.
17:31Where has it gone?
17:34I think it's just over the line.
17:36And what a shot to bring up his
17:385th half century.
17:40Kamithu Mendis.
17:42In his LPL career.
17:44And the 3rd this season.
17:48Ball in.
17:51Binro Fernando's got a wicket.
17:53The 3rd for Binro.
17:54His last ball of his spell.
17:57Dasun Shanika.
17:59Not much he could do with that.
18:01Because that was a very good one.
18:04This was a perfect yorker.
18:07Simply trying to bludgeon it down the ground.
18:09Dasun Shanika.
18:11Missed it. Usually very strong.
18:13Down the ground.
18:15A very good knock of 39.
18:17In 31 deliveries.
18:18Scanty.
18:19152 for 7.
18:22Ball.
18:26How good is that?
18:28Both setbacks were good.
18:31He went to Panthirana
18:33looking for something special.
18:35And he delivers the glory ball.
18:39From straight down the line.
18:42Straight back towards the bowler
18:43would have been a better option.
18:45The pace did it.
18:46That was 150 clicks almost.
18:48149.9 to be exact.
18:50Brilliant.
18:51Comes to an end with an absolute peach.
18:53Gone 54.
18:55152 for 8.
18:58That's it.
18:59Got it in.
19:00The gap.
19:01There we go.
19:02Look at the celebration.
19:05Ramesh Mendy sneaks down through the infield.
19:09And the 1 by 2 wickets.
19:13Oh yes.
19:14Celebrate through the night.
19:16You deserve it.
19:17What a fight back.
19:18From 83 for 6.
19:20Tasun Shah.
19:23Comes to Mendes.
19:25Controlled.
19:26Knock.
19:27Of 54.
19:29Taking them home.
19:30What an effort.
