Dahani 以 I Thushara
Wicket. OUT! Caught. Shahnawaz Dahani to Nuwan Thushara. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the back foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to point, caught by Neesham. Colombo Kaps seal a comfortable victory over Kandy Royals, winning by 68 runs in the Eliminator of the Lanka Premier League 2026. Kaps' bowlers delivered an impressive performance, with Wanuja Sahan and Malsha Tharupathi taking two wickets each, stifling the Royals chase. Lahiru Udara fought valiantly, scoring 50 off 36 balls, but the lack of support from the middle order proved costly. Kaps disciplined bowling and sharp fielding ultimately sealed Kandy's fate, ending their title hopes and propelling Colombo into the next round. Wanuja Sahan is the Player of the Match.
