Because they will be one of the contenders. Earlier in the day, the other contender - Galle - lost again. And Kandy could have bettered their position on the table but it wasn't to be. They were shot out for 105 and post that Colombo didn't have many hiccups to deal with. There are seven league games remaining but the ones featuring Kandy and Galle will have any significant importance. The top three teams have hardly anything to choose from and all the three would want to finish on top because that might give them a shot at Kandy or Galle who haven't been up to the mark till now. The equations, permutations and combinations will come into the picture with every game from now on. The action continues but we will leave you for the moment. Tadaa! Dushmantha Chameera, Man of the Match: It is important to have accuracy. If you bowl at 150, you need to be accurate as well. Pace is one of the important aspects for a fast bowler. You hit the wicket and get that bounce. I tried the same. Angelo Mathews: No, I won't call it a perfect game. It was a very good game. We showed great intensity. I am very happy. We always plan to take wickets and not contain. I rotated the bowlers and they responded really well. The wicket was doing a little but Chandimal and Priyanjan batted really well. We can still improve with the bat. May be we can take a chance with a couple of positions. We will rest a few players may be. Kusal Perera: The track was seaming and we didn't bat well. We didn't adjust well. We have a few games left. This is time to get together and play together. 100 is never enough to defend. 23:01 Local Time, 17:31 GMT, 23:01 IST: The only word that comes to my mind is emphatic. Colombo have mauled their opponents. They did splendidly well with the ball and with the bat, showed the right amounts of aggression to track this as quickly as they could. A huge win for Colombo and has helped them to join Jaffna and Dambulla on 8 points. Kandy remain ahead of Galle in the points table with only two points to their kitty. The Colombo bowlers set it up and the batters ensured the cake walk had no slippery icing. Qais Ahmad is my Man of the Match. Who will be your pick? And yes this win has ensured that Colombo alongwith Dambulla and Jaffna have qualified for the semis. Kandy and Galle will tussle for that one last spot. 14.1 Pradeep to Chandimal, FOUR , short ball, banged in, Chandimal gets on top of the short ball and pulls it behind square for a four.
