Commentary

That's all we've got for now as my partner, Prakhar and I, Sudheer are signing off for the moment. Do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more match updates coming your way from around the globe. Cheers and have fun!

Galle Gladiators have done the job when it mattered as they finish the match with 4 balls to spare and chase down the total of 144 losing 6 wickets in the process. Gladiators have got off to a great start with the bat as Danushka Gunathilaka consistently found boundaries inside the powerplay. Other batters around him struggled but he kep the scoreboard ticking from one end. Once they lost wickets in the middle overs, it kept coming in clusters and seemed like they might end up on the losing stage. Bhanuka Rajapaksa came in and scored few boundaries when he was in the middle. Later, Lahiru Madushanka struck few lusty blows in the final few overs to help the team cross the line.

Kandy Warriors didn't start well as the pacers gave away some easy runs at the start but their spinners brought them back into the game. Sachindu Colombage was the pick of the bowlers for them with 3 wickets under his belt. Other spinners have also held things beautifully in the middle overs and brought the match to the closing stages. Couple of blemishes in the final overs has costed them dearly and are now on the losing side in this game.

Galle Gladiators have now won two games in 3 matches while Kandy have lost both their matches so far. We are in the early stages of the tournament and there is lot to come in the coming few weeks. We surely can expect more exciting contests in the coming games of Lanka Premier League 2021.

Right! We are ready for the post-match presentation.

Dhananjaya Lakshan is the Player of the Match.

Dhananjaya Lakshan: I tried to take the chase deep.I tried for the single.s The bowling was good.

Angelo Perera: I thought because it was only six runs to get so I decided to bowl and take the risk. We have only limited only a few spinners. But we have a good fast bowling unit. The pitches are helping the spinners. The fielding cost us the match. It is about staying positive and trying to win.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa: The wickets are not easy to bat. Noor is talented. He has a bright future ahead of him. I am proud of the spinners. We have been finishing the matches in the last overs since the last season. But it is not a good habit.

Lahiru Madushanka does the job for his team by hitting a six and a four off the last over when 7 runs were required from 6 balls. He hit the most important blows in the final couple of overs and that sealed the match for them. Galle Gladiators win the match by 4 wickets and 4 balls to spare.

19.2 Angelo Perera to Lahiru Madushanka, FOUR! Fullish ball on off-stump, Madushanka thumps the ball down the ground for a boundary to take his team home!!

19.1 Angelo Perera to Lahiru Madushanka, SIX! Fullish ball on middle and leg, Madushanka slog sweeps the ball to square-leg for a maximum!!!

Dhananjaya Lakshan and Lahiru Madushanka are out in the middle. The match has gone down the last over. Galle Gladiators need 7 runs from the last over.

We are facing some technical issue at the moment but we will back live soon!

16.5 Kamindu Mendis to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 1 run, fullish ball on off-stump, Rajapaksa slogs the ball down to long-on for a single.

16.4 Kamindu Mendis to Lahiru Madushanka, 1 run, good length ball on off-stump, Madushanka dabs the ball to cover and takes a single.

16.3 Kamindu Mendis to Lahiru Madushanka, no run, back of the length ball on off-stump, Madushankacuts the ball to backward point.

16.2 Kamindu Mendis to Lahiru Madushanka, no run, good length ball on off-stump, Madushanka pushes the ball to cover.

16.1 Kamindu Mendis to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 1 run, back of the length ball on middle and leg, Rajapaksa pulls the ball down to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Kamindu Mendis (2-0-11-1) comes back into the attack.

Another wicket lost in the last over and are we seeing a twist in the tale here? Galle still need 33 to win in 24 balls. Rajapaksa holds the key for Galle as Angelo Perera is dictating the terms with his witty bowling changes.
