Commentary

This is me, Mohul Bhowmick, signing off also on behalf of my partner Srivathsa Vennelaganti from this exciting game in the Lanka Premier League. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, goodbye!

Wanindu Hasaranga, captain of Kandy Falcons: Very happy with the performance of the boys. Everyone is taking responsibility and stepping up to the plate. It is a good headache to have (to see every newcomer do well) and hopefully, we will carry this momentum forward.

Dasun Shanaka, captain of Dambulla: It was very embarrassing. We are making mistakes every game. We have to do well in all three departments to win. We are all established players and we need to take more responsibility. Nothing seems to be going our way. The bowlers are not bowling well and the batters are not taking up enough responsibility.

Kamindu Mendis, Player of the Match: Happy with the performance. The openers built a good partnership and when I went in, I just had to rotate the strike. I had a good partnership with Fletcher and he played exceedingly well. Did not have any set plan and took each ball as it came.

Carlos Brathwaite: It was a good wicket and thankfully everything came out well. I am happy with my own performance as well as the team's. I especially liked picking Shanaka's wicket, and am glad that Andre (Fletcher) is behind the stumps and doing well too. Hopefully, we can patch him up soon and get him back on the field. We are pleased and will take this momentum forward.

Kandy Falcons beat Dambulla Aura by 77 runs!
Kamindu Mendis 58 (40) | Carlos Brathwaite 3/25
Andre Fletcher 44 (31) | Chamindu Wijesinghe 3/25

This ended up being a rather one-sided affair for the side from Kandy here. Dambulla got off to a good start but they capsized soon after. Their openers did their best but they were snapped up by Chamika Karunaratne in a single over. Carlos Brathwaite, having got off to a poor start, got into the act soon afterwards and bagged three wickets in no time.

The Aura batters did not do themselves any favours by their choice of shotmaking, and none of their batters save Chaturanga de Silva and Bhanuka Rajapaksa showed any responsibility or intent to take their side to victory by chasing the total down. The bowlers of Kandy had too easy a time out in the middle and complemented their batters by putting up an extremely strong and power-packed performance.

They will take a lot of confidence from this result, and this comes at the right time, with them having lost to Jaffna Kings by a close margin yesterday. The Falcons are absolutely flying at the moment, and they will surely be a hard team to beat in the ongoing edition of the Lanka Premier League.

15.0

14.2 Fabian Allen to Noor Ahmad, OUT! All over. Kandy have thrashed a hapless Dambulla outfit by 77 runs. The final wicket is an LBW which is reviewed by Noor but it's a waste. He misses the reverse to a quicker ball on the stumps and that's plumb. He reviews as he had one up his sleeve

Noor Ahmad lbw b Fabian Allen 28 (8b 1x4 2x6)

14.1 Fabian Allen to Noor Ahmad, good length on the stumps, punched to deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs

Hasaranga, who has brought himself on quite late in the attack, has been good with his lengths. Kandy keep seeking the lone wicket that can give them victory here.

13.6 Wanindu Hasaranga to Paul van Meekeren, tossed up outside off, van Meekeren swings and misses, so close to nicking the off-stump

13.5 Wanindu Hasaranga to Noor Ahmad, flighted on off, driven to long-off

13.4 Wanindu Hasaranga to Noor Ahmad, FOUR! Quicker ball on the stumps, Noor heaves and the thick inside-edge runs wide of the stumps and to the fence

13.3 Wanindu Hasaranga to Noor Ahmad, SIX! Noor is going to have fun. He comes down the track and lofts this one over long-on, struck well and clears the fielder

13.2 Wanindu Hasaranga to Noor Ahmad, tossed up on off, Noor inside-edges the hoick on to the pads, almost sneaked through

13.1 Wanindu Hasaranga to Paul van Meekeren, tossed up and van Meekeren brings out the reverse sweep to deep point

The Falcons are just one wicket away from victory here. They can try out some new options now.
