That's it for this game. We have more action coming your way in the coming days from all around the world. Stay tuned to One Cricket and Cricket Exchange's coverage for more and more cricket. This is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Ahire. Stay safe, happy, and get vaccinated. We will catch up with you soon. TA-TA and ADIOS!
Bhanuka Rajapaksa: "I always thought this was not an easy wicket to bat. I would say 15-20 runs short especially after the start we got but credit to the bowlers. The initial plan was to take wickets but they batted well and at the end of the day, we kept them under pressure. Amir and all the others are doing well."
Dasun Shanaka: "It was a great effort from all of the boys; bowling and batting. In the end, it was the fielding mistakes that cost us the game. Janith (Liyanage) batted really well and we found a crucial number three. We will play the same XI and win the next game."
Samit Patel has been awarded the Player of the Match for his match-changing spell where he picked up a couple of wickets in an over.
The Galle Gladiators get the crucial 2 points here as they notch up a close 9 run win over the Dambulla Giants here in Colombo. The Giants were ahead of this chase till Over Number 11 but those two wickets by Samit Patel sealed the deal and turned it around for the Gladiators. With this win, the Gladiators also qualify for the Playoffs alongside the Giants and Kings.
Philip Salt scored 41 off 29 balls while the youngster Janith Liyanage top-scored with 51 off 37 balls. Zadran played a cameo of 16 off 9 balls towards the end. Samit Patel with the ball was special getting 2 wickets in 2 balls that started the slump. 2 wickets for Udana as well, Mohammed Amir chipped in with a wicket as well.
Earlier the Gladiators got to 134 thanks to Mendis 35, Gunathilaka's 25, and Rajapaksa's 33. Tahir was very good for the Giants with 3 for 20 while Little bowled well with his 2 wickets. A wicket for Ratnayake as well. But it was not enough as the Gladiators win by 9 runs in the end.
Galle Gladiators with this win go up to 2nd place in the points table ahead of the Giants. Kings, Gladiators, and Giants are through to the playoffs. Stick around for the post-match presentation coming your way.

13.6 I Udana to C Karunaratne
2 A couple of runs here and with that Gladiators gets a victory here. On a good length on the middle and leg as Karunaratne works it towards the deep square leg for a brace here. And Gladiators beats Giants here by 9 runs.
13.5 I Udana to C Karunaratne
4 FOUR!!! But it won't be enough for the Giants here. Short of a length on the off from Udana. Karunaratne waits on the back foot and smashes that one past the deep midwicket for a four here.
13.4 I Udana to S Jayathilake
1 Only a single here and Gladiators are home here. Yorker length on the off as Jayathilake gets the inside edge on the pads and it rolls away on the off side for a single.
13.3 I Udana to S Jayathilake
4 FOUR!!! Jayathilake gets a four here. Fuller length from Udana outside the off. As the batter reaches for it and plays that one past the point fielder for a four here.
The Gladiators send this upstairs for a caught behind here. The original decision is Not Out. It's a fair delivery. Waiting for Ultra Edge now. Ultra Edge shows a spike when the ball hits the pad. The decision will be overturned. Great review this from Gladiators.
13.2 I Udana to N Zadran
W Another dot ball and Udana is sealing the deal for the Gladiators. Bouncer from Udana on the off as Zadran misses the hook to the keeper and huge appeal for the caught behind and they have gone upstairs here. Ultra edge confirms that the ball has kissed the bat as it goes through to the keeper. And Gladiators gets the big fish here. And with that Zadran takes the hopes of Dambulla with him.
13.1 I Udana to N Zadran
0 A valuable dot ball to begin the over from Udana. Fuller length outside the off as Zadran swings it hardly but misses it to the keeper.
Ayan: 21 needed off the final over with Najibullah on strike. Can he be the hero for the Giants? The fielding side will be the favorites going into this last over. Isuru Udana to bowl the final over.

12.5 M Amir to N Zadran
6 SIXXX!!! Back to back sixes here from Zadran. This time down the ground he goes. Fuller length on the off from Amir. Zadran deep in the crease as he gets under neath that one and smokes it over the long off for a six.
