MATCH OVER!
Sri Lankan Lions win by nine runs!
Sri Lankan Lions 116/5 (10) Cyprus Moufflons 107/10 (9.4)
What an unbelievable comeback from the Sri Lankan Lions as they sneak in a nine-run victory! Defending 117 for victory, the Lions got off to a bad start as Moufflons raced off to 37/0 after two overs. Zeeshan Sarwar continue to strike cleanly but Suresh Janaka pulled the Lions into the game by dismissing Shoaib Ahmad and Gurdip Sharma in the third over.
Thereafter, the innings started to nosedive as Lions continued to bowl economical overs while Janaka also removed Zeeshan in the fifth over. Roshan Siriwardana made further inroads with two wickets in the sixth over but Sushil Kumar tried to counter-attack from that situation. Sushil smacked 19 runs off the eighth over to make the game interesting. However, two wickets in the penultimate over bowled by Chamal Sadun meant that the Moufflons needed 12 off the last six balls. However, Muhammad Bilal got out off the first ball while Sushil only got the strike on the fourth delivery when Lakhwinder Singh was run-out!
10.0
9.4 Srinath Rajith to Sushil Kumar, full on middle and leg. Kumar punches it down to long on and picks up a run. He comes back to the striker's end but Lakhwinder Singh gets RUN OUT as the batters do not cross! This is the end of the innings as Hridoy Hossain is unable to bat owing to an injury. Sri Lankan Lions win by 14 runs!
9.3 Srinath Rajith to Lakhwinder Singh, fullish outside off. Singh manages to pat it towards cover and picks up a run.

9.1 Srinath Rajith to Muhammad Bilal, BOWLED HIM! Full and straight on off and middle. Bilal tries to work it away but misses the line of the ball completely. He turns around to see his stumps being shattered!

8.6 Chamal Sadun to Waqar Ali, short of a length on off and middle. Ali works it away to deep midwicket and takes a single. He tries to attempt a second run very casually and chooses not to come back to the crease at all! Very casual approach- he is RUN OUT as a result!

Wicket at a crucial time. Gurwinder Singh is gone and the new batsman will be on strike now!
8.2 Chamal Sadun to Gurwinder Singh, CAUGHT! Full and wide outside off. Singh slashes at it from the crease and gets a top edge. The ball goes high up in the air and is caught by the fielder at short third man quite comfortably!
