Colombo vs Kandy, 3rd Match at Kandy, LPL, Jul 02 2024 - Match Result

And that is that! Another arm ball has done the trick. Skids through off a good length, Rajitha gets forward but plays for the turn that isn't there. It raps him on the front pad and this looks to be crashing into the stumps. The third umpire confirms it, and Colombo win by 51 runs!

full on the stumps, defended on the front foot

good length outside off, left alone

full down leg, misses the sweep

And Shanaka is gone as well! Surely that's game over! Slow through the air, but it skids through after pitching to crash into the stumps. Shanaka looks to slog this sweep over deep midwicket but misses it all ends up

full on the stumps, quick. Defended to mid-on

And he's done it! This one is the googly as Pavan walks across his stumps to work it onside. But I have to say this looked dead on as he was rapped on the front pad in front of middle. They review but this is in hope more than anything, replays show it crashing it into middle! What a game changing over this has been from Shadab! Wow

Shadab has two in two! Good length legbreak, but it skids through. Too good for Agha who is caught on the crease poking at this to no avail. Off stump is rocked as Colombo strike once more

Excellent grab at long-on and Kandy have lost both set batters! Hasaranga doesn't get a hold of this as he looks to hack this over the onside. Muhammed Waseem is the man running in from the long-on boundary, and he completes a really good catch, diving forward on the run. Colombo are clawing themselves back into this game

length on off, back foot punch down to long-on

Shanaka continues where he left off! Short, wide and this is cut away nicely behind point

Brilliant work at long-off! This was launched high but not quite far from Hasaranga after it was tossed up. Daniel is on the ropes and he leaps up to catch it, before palming it back into play realizing he was going over the ropes

Binura gets the breakthrough! His barrage of slower deliveries pay off. Another wide, length cutter. Mathews loses the bottom hand as he looks to swing this over long-on. Gets the toe-end of the bat on it, as Chamika holds on at long-on

Slower one, but this one was very wide even with Mathews moving across the stumps

full on off, driven back towards Binura who does well to get low to his left and save some runs

length outside off, carved in the air towards deep backward point

full and wide, swung away to long-on

Another slower one. Mathews skips down the track and can only under edge this into the turf

slower one outside off, swing and a miss. This was pretty wide but Mathews had moved towards the offside

Over deep midwicket now! This was angled in on a length and Hasaranga just about gets enough on this pull. 72 metre boundary and he just about clears it as the fielder in the deep only manages to palm this over
