Commentary

That would be all from the coverage of this game. But the action continues on the LPL T20 2021. In a short while from now we will have Kandy Warriors taking on Galle Gladiators. That is all from the commentary team of Prakhar Sachdeo and Navjeevan Rajput. Thanks for joining us. We hope to have your company for all the cricket coverage from around the globe. Goodbye!

It proved to be an easy chase for Jaffna Kings as they romped home in just 12.3 overs with 8 wickets in hand. The star of the chase was Tom Kohler-Cadmore who blazed to an unbeaten 45 from 30 balls hitting five fours and two sixes. The Kings had a surprise move as they moved Avishka Fernando top of the order and the right-hand batter scored a fiery 33 from 27 balls. But it was not just these two batters who contributed in the win.

Earlier, Dambulla Giants finished with a paltry total of 110 from 19.2 overs. Their innings was a sad story of the batters struggling for runs and throwing away their wickets. The fact that the Giants managed only two sixes and nine fours in their innings highlight the struggles of the Giants batters. Nuwanidu Fernando was the top scorer for the Giants as he scored a steady 23 from 25 balls. As the Giants struggled, Jaffna Kings' bowlers made merry. The spin twin of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga had 3 wickets each to their names. Pacers Suranga Lakmal and Jayden Seales picked two wickets each.

Dasun Shanaka (Dambulla Giants captain): These things happen in T20 cricket. We started well yesterday. The pitch was good. Their bowlers were good. Theekshana and Hasaranag bowled really well. The intent was there. We lost two early wickets. That is where we lost the match.

Thisara Perera (Jaffna Kings captain): I am always smiling. We came here to win. We cannot control toss every time. I tell my bowlers to bowl well every time. I am confident that Avishak can open the innings. I talked with the coach and I am happy with him batting there.

Maheesh Theekshana (Player of the match): Yea only played one game in the last season, this time I might get all the games. I know it's a dream to play here and I work hard for it.

End of a lopsided contest! Jaffna Kings register a comprehensive win over Dambulla Giants to open their account in LPL T20 2021. They dominated from the word go.

Stick around as we will bring to you the quotes from the post-match ceremony.

12.3 Marchant de Lange to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, ANTICLIMACTIC!! Fuller and outside off, Tom tries to swot that away but misses, the keeper fails to collect that one and the ball races away to the fences for four byes and that seals the deal for the Kings!!

12.2 Marchant de Lange to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, fuller and just outside off, Tom pushes that towards mid-off, looks to take one but was sent back. Scored are still tied!!

12.1 Marchant de Lange to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, almost a yorker on the stumps, Tom turns that away to mid-wicket

Marchant de Lange is back in the attack.

Biggest over of the match as Kings get 21 runs off it. Shoaib Malik joining the fun now as he smashed Pradeep for three huge sixes. Just one run needed now for the Kings to win the match.

11.6 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, SCORES ARE TIED!! Full and in the slot on the stumps, Malik gets down and slog-sweeps that away over deep mid-wicket and that one goes on to almost hit the scoreboard on the ground!!

11.5 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, FLAT AND OVER THE ROPES!! Short and outside off, Malik waits back and pulls that away flat over deep square leg and just manages to clear the fence as well. Down to just 7 runs needed now for the Kings!!

11.5 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, WIDE!! Full and bowled down the leg that one. Just 13 runs needed for the kings!!

11.4 Nuwan Pradeep to Tom Kohler-Cadmore, fuller and just outside off, Tom turns that away towards mid-wicket for a single

11.3 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, fuller and on the stumps, Malik turns that away towards mid-wicket and dashes for one

11.2 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, CAUGHT IN THE CROWD!! On the length and just outside off, Malik waits for it and swots that away over deep mid-wicket and it taken in the crowd!!

11.1 Nuwan Pradeep to Shoaib Malik, full and outside off, Malik throws his bat at that one but misses out

Karunaratne concedes 12 runs from his first over. Tom Kohler-Cadmore continues to punish the bowlers. This batting display from Kings should help in improving their NRR.
