Commentary

That's all from today's encounter, I Harsh Shukla will take a bye from all of you and will like to thank my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and Score/Analyst Paras Yadav who helped me throughout the game. Stay connected to us because we bring all the exciting encounters across the world to you. Till we meet again take care and very goodbye.

Nuwan Kulasekara: " It was a good match, I always bowl tough overs since I was playing for my national team, and that has helped me here as well to bowl in the tough situations. We will try to give our best in the final for our country. Every wicket of the Indian side is crucial so I will try to give my best tomorrow."

Tillakaratne Dilshan(Skipper Sri Lanka Legends): " Yeah, I think it was a good game both teams played well. Our bowler bowled very well as this wicket was not easy to bowl. All the plans went right today. Overall it's a very good game both sides played a good game. We will come and do our best tomorrow."

Brian Lara(Skipper West Indies Legends): " Yeah, credit goes to the Sri Lankan side as they played well even though they were under pressure and we bowled a couple of no balls and gave away extra 15 to 20 runs. It was a good cricket match and we had a wonderful time here playing at different venues."

Sanath Jayasuriya: " There was a bit of pressure on me as it was a tight game but the boys bowled really well. For me it's just to bowl my 4 overs that's my thinking always and the wicket is a bonus for me. We have only 24 hrs for the final and we have to get ready for the big final."

Harsh: Finally, Sri Lankan Legends' bowlers delivered for them they won by a razor-thin margin of 14 runs in the final game of the series and advanced directly to the finals against Indian Legends. What a victory for the Sri Lankan Legends, whose bowlers once more stood up for them. On the other hand, the West Indies Legends only had themselves to blame; while bowling excellently and limiting the Sri Lankans to an under-par total, their middle order's subpar performance cost them the match.

Thanks to the final innings played by Jayaratne and Mendis, Sri Lankan Legends achieved a score of 172, which was below par. Sri Lankan spinners gave them a spectacular start in response. The first ten overs of the Caribbean innings saw the dismissals of Brian Lara (17), Edwards(0), and Perkins(2). Dwayne Smith ( 23) was also short-lived.

Before being caught by Kulasekara outside off, Narsingh Deonarine batted very intelligently, scoring 63 runs off 39 deliveries while hitting 4 boundaries and 4 maximums.

In the end, it was all about the combined bowling efforts by the Sri Lankan Legends bowler as they all stood up to their opportunity. The sensational 19th over by Isuru Udana was magnificent, he was on his length and completed the over very well. Before him, it was Sanath Jayasuriya's double blow in a single over that made the Carribeans on the back foot and after that, the bowlers dominated the game completely. Jayasuriya and Kulasekara took 2-2 wickets each and Udana, Dilshan and Gunaratne managed to take one-one wickets each.

In the end, it's Sri Lanka Legends who will be gearing up for the interesting finals tomorrow against Indian legends.
