B-Love Kandy

(6.6 ov) 78/5

Jaffna Kings

(5.5 ov) 79/6

Complete Jaffna Kings won by 4 wkts - 7 over game - due to rain

Jaffna and Galle have qualified for the playoffs and with this loss Kandy have made it tough for themselves to advance. That's curtains on this game. It's a double-header tomorrow. Hopefully the rain is kind on us. We'll catch you all in the afternoon. Goodnight!
Charith Asalanka | Jaffna Kings captain: (What was your plan) Just smashing! (smiles). I was under pressure but when I was coming to bat it was 12-12.5 odd needed per over, so I just had to smash it. Toss does matter in shortened games. I will have to discuss with the coach but if we have to see a few different faces in the next game I am happy with it.
Wanindu Hasaranga | Kandy Falcons captain: One game left now, so we just want to finish with a win. We knew pitch was going to be a bit tacky because of being covered.
Jason Behrendorff | Player of the Match: It was a bit sticky, bit of bounce and two-paced. Back of a length and top of the stumps length was hard to score. He spoke about hitting the back of a length and he hit the slower balls late at the back end. Enjoying my time in Sri Lanka, this is my first time.
