Dharmasena 以 T Mathew
Wicket. OUT! Bowled. Eshan Malinga to Traveen Mathew. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. A comfortable 36-run victory for Galle Gallants to kick off their campaign in style. Jaffna Kings began the chase positively, with Avishka Fernando and Kamil Mishara providing a solid foundation. However, once the opening pair departed, the innings unravelled as wickets fell at regular intervals. Dunith Wellalage fought hard with a valuable 40, but he lacked support from the other end as the required rate continued to climb. Eshan Malinga starred with the ball for Galle Gallants, producing a match-winning spell of four wickets to seal a convincing win for his side. Charith Asalanka is the Player of the Match.
