We have another coming up in less than half an hour. It is Galle Gladiators taking on Dambulla Viiking. Switch tabs and catch all the action. Cya.. Asela Gunaratne | Player of the Match: I have been in this situation before and know what needs to be done. I was confident of chasing it down. Happy to have the tournament with all the obstacles around. I am happy to contribute with bat and ball. Kusal Perera | Winning captain: We had to win this game. The wicket was not flat and was difficult to bat. Asela and Irfan did well to take it deep and win the game. We are not thinking about winning or losing. We will come tomorrow and try to give our best. Thisara Perera | Losing captain: We are trying to bat first because we are chasing easily. We are experimenting before the semifinal. We were 15-20 runs short. 19:27 Local Time, 13:57 GMT, 19:27 IST: Kandy Tuskers stay alive in the tournament with this win. Their bowlers did a fine job of restricting Jaffna Stallions to 150 and even though they lost a couple of wickets in the powerplay, Asela Gunaratne added crucial partnerships with Kusal Perera and Irfan Pathan to see the side over the line. Credit to the Jaffna bowlers, they tried their best to defend the modest total but just didn't have enough. It is their third game without a win but they still remain at the top of the table, Tuskers have broken their three-match losing streak and have the momentum going into the final game. Presentations coming up.. 19.1 Olivier to Gunaratne, SIX , Tuskers win by 6 wickets. Gunaratne didn't want to take it deep into the final over. He gives the charge and gets a slower delivery in his slot, swings it away over cow corner not only win the game but also to bring up his fifty Tuskers need 6 off the final over. We have lost live feed and are waiting for it. Hang on... KDT: 145-4 after 19 overs 18.6 Usman Shinwari to Irfan Pathan, FOUR , that was much needed. Tuskers are one hit away now. Full toss outside off and Pathan lifts it over extra cover, relied on placement and hence managed to time it well 18.5 Usman Shinwari to Irfan Pathan, no run, bouncer around off, Pathan pulls and misses. He looks at the square leg umpire for a potential wide but gets nothing in return 18.4 Usman Shinwari to Gunaratne, 1 run 18.3 Usman Shinwari to Irfan Pathan, 1 run, slower delivery outside off, Pathan drags it off the toe-end to long-on 18.2 Usman Shinwari to Gunaratne, 5 runs, unfortunate! Another pin-perfect yorker around off-stump, Gunaratne digs it to backward point and charges across to the other end, Hasaranga throws at the bowler's end and the ball deflects off Gunaratne's bat to the fence. Really unlucky! But the Stallions appeal for obstruction of the field by Gunaratne and it has been sent upstairs. The third umpire has gone in favor of the batsman there. Gunaratne didn't do much wrong there, he was sliding his bat in when the ball hit and ricocheted to the fence 18.1 Usman Shinwari to Gunaratne, no run, uhh! Shinwari nails the yorker, Gunaratne is falling over as he looks to flick and misses, the ball hits his pad and rolls back down the wicket, he didn't know where the ball was and was out of the crease searching for the yorker, but Pathan quickly sends him back as Shinwari swoops down Usman Shinwari [3.0-0-24-0] is back into the attack KDT: 134-4 after 18 overs 17.6 Olivier to Irfan Pathan, no run, well-directed bouncer on off-stump, Pathan pulls and misses. He was beaten by the extra climb on that delivery 17.5 Olivier to Gunaratne, 1 run, finally he manages to make proper contact on his dab to third man, just a single 17.4 Olivier to Gunaratne, no run, off-cutter that breaks in. Gunaratne almost chops it back onto the stumps 17.3 Olivier to Gunaratne, no run, slower delivery around off, Gunaratne misses the steer to third man 17.2 Olivier to Gunaratne, FOUR , in the air and just over. Poor delivery from Olivier. Full and down leg, Gunaratne brings his bottom hand into play as he whips it over a leaping short fine fielder 17.1 Olivier to Irfan Pathan, 1 run, short and loads of width, Pathan cracks it straight to sweeper cover Load More Commentary
