That's it from us for this game. Do switch tabs as the Colombo Stars will take on the Galle Gladiators in the Eliminator. For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer Paras Yadav. Bye Bye.✌✌
Thisara Perera (Jaffna Kings Skipper):"As I said, if we do our basics right, we will succeed. We have good promising cricketers and if we play well, we are good than the other teams. All the players are fit and we will be looking to be at our best in the final."
Wanindu Hasaranga (Kandy Falcons Skipper): "We were short by 20-30 runs while batting. Chamika is fit and will play tomorrow. Don't think we will make any changes to our playing XI for tomorrow's clash."
Vijayakanth Viyaskanth: "I tried to bowl wicket to wicket. I was well-supported by Thisara Perera and Samarawickrama. Whenever I bowl onto the stumps, I pick wickets."
Vijayakanth Viyaskanth is named the Player of the Match.
