That's it from the broadcast of this match. Do join us for the next match of the day where Colombo Stars will cross their swords against the Kandy Warriors. For now, this is me Ajay Ahire sgning it off along with my Co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee. Until then stay safe and stay cool...
Bhanuka Rajapaksa | Player of the Match, Winning captain - "It was a good toss to win, the wicket wasn't the best to bat on, we wanted to get at least 130 and the bowlers held up under pressure. We are very positive as a team, thanks to our owner. He always keeps his cool under pressure - we put them under the pump right from the start and that paid off."
Thisara Perera | Losing captain - "We had plenty of new players, but there's nothing to worry about, it's a good wake-up call. We had to consider our bench strength, but we will be back to our full strength in the next game. Not thinking about the past results, taking one game at a time."
Player of The Match Award goes to Bhanuka Rajapaksa the Galle Gladiators Skipper.
The power hitter of the match goes to Rahmatullah Gurbaz.
Galle Gladiators gets the victory here as they beat the table-toppers Jaffna Kings by 20 runs. Brilliant bowling performant from the Gladiators here and brilliant captaincy from Rajapaksa as he Marshell his troops pretty well throughout the innings.
Galle Gladiators is the only team to beat the Jaffna Kings in this season so far and not only once but they have beaten Kings 2 times in the league stages.
Chasing 130 on this tricky surface they lost Avishka Fernando in the second over as he picked up a fielder at deep midwicket. Gurbaz looks solid but he was then dismissed by Samit Patel on the score of 21. Then Chaturanga and Malik out on the 27 run partnership but then Chaturanga were lost his wicket on the score of 8 here.
Then in the penultimate over of Noor Ahmed, he picked up the two of most important wickets of the Kings as he got the wickets of Malik and Perera in a single over and that was the over where he sealed the deal for the Gladiators. Then the rest of the lower order was blown away by the Gladiators and a couple of them were the suicidal run-outs.
So Galle Gladiators finishes on the number 2 spot on the points table and they will face off against the Jaffna Kings in the spare of a couple of days. Presentation to follow here.....

Ayan: An impressive performance by the Galle Gladiators as they win this game by 20 runs over the Jaffna Kings. Jaffna Kings' losses have come against the Gladiators twice while chasing the total. Jaffna looked clueless, they will hope that this is just a one-off. Gladiators with 9 points will finish in 2nd place. Jaffna finished with 12 points. Get ready for Jaffna Kings vs Galle Gladiators on Sunday night in Qualifier 1 in Hambantota.
18.3 M Amir to S Lakmal
W That's in the air and taken by Noor Ahmad coming in from the deep. A slower ball with the pace of the ball, going for the big one and Lakmal swings hard and gets the height and not the distance. Lakmal falls to Amir in the end. 109 all out in 18.3 overs. Galle Gladiators win by 20 runs to finish in 2nd place. Galle do the double over Jaffna.
18.2 M Amir to S Lakmal
4 Short of a length ball, Lakmal swings the long handle and beats the fielder diving in for the boundary over mid-off. Pace on the ball working for Lakmal.
18.1 M Amir to P Jayawickrama
1 Pace of the ball here, Jayawickrama toe ends it down the ground for a single.

Run out check here. Replays show that the batter is well short of the crease here and he has to go here.
17.5 P Tharanga to V Viyaskanth
W Going on with the arm and wraps the batter on the pads. Another direct hit and run-out check and guess what another wicket. Galle Gladiators has Kings' number here. They are sliding to a defeat. 9 down now. Lack of game awareness by Jaffna here.
