Wellalage 以 S Colombage
Two runs. Dunith Wellalage to Sachindu Colombage. Quicker length ball, wide outside off stump on the back foot Slog, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to deep backward point for 2 runs, run save by Nafay. Jaffna Kings have booked their place in the final with a thoroughly deserved victory, produced through an outstanding all-round team performance. Galle Gallants made a flying start to the chase, making full use of the powerplay and raising hopes of a successful pursuit. However, Harper 44 runs off 21 balls and Asalanka 27 off 13 balls were both dismissed in quick succession which meant the middle-order batter had to rebuild the innings. The aggressive approach continued, with Chamika Karunaratne, the impact player, chipping in with a valuable 39 off 21. Captain Dasun Shanaka led from the front with a fighting 34 off 19, but his dismissal at a crucial stage ended Galle's hopes of pulling off the chase. Mohamed Shiraz starred for the Jaffna Kings, claiming three wickets, while Lizaad Williams provided excellent support with two wickets. Galle will now have one more opportunity to secure a place in the title clash in Qualifier 2. Kamil Mishara is the player of the match for his blistering batting performance earlier in the game.
