That's it for this game, everyone! Do switch tabs and follow the second game of the day from the LPL between the Galle Titans and Jaffna Kings which goes live in under 20 minutes. For now, on behalf of Ayan Chatterjee, and scorer/analyst Dushyant Madhukar Kumar, this is Navjeevan Rajput signing off.
Wanindu Hasaranga (B-Love Kandy Captain): "Yea of course especially in this kind of game, credit to bowlers who did well. Credit to Fakhar who arrived this afternoon and he was ready to play. You know if we see our bowlers, we have good wicket-taking bowlers which includes me, Mujeeb, Dushmantha, Udana, and Hasnain."
Kusal Mendis (Dambulla Aura Captain): "I think we were 20-30 short. We lost early wickets and got to a below par score. The first 6 overs wicket was hard and then me and Avishka tried hard and me got out at the wrong time. Dhananjaya played well but we got a low total. Hope we bounce back."
Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the Player of the Match.

18:23 IST and Local Time: B-Love Kandy wins their first game of this edition of the tournament.
Dambulla Aura batting first posted a modest total of 156 runs. With the ball, they were hammered around as only de Silva and Kerr could get into the wickets today. In the end, they just couldn't keep the squeeze on and lost this game.

Coming in to chase a target of 157 runs. B-Love Kandy were taken off to a flier by their openers Chandimal and Zaman (28). The duo stitched a 69-run partnership batting for the first eight overs and found the ropes with ease. Zaman had a soft dismissal but Chandimal carried on and went on to post 48 runs but was run out as he was a bit too eager to be on strike.
After that, things slowed down a bit for B-Love Kandy. However, the Dambulla Aura bowlers gave away a bit too many extra runs which kept the B-Love Kandy's score ticking along despite runs not coming off the blade. At the back end, Mathews (28*) and Asif (16*) were able to get B-Love Kandy across the line with nine balls to spare.
18.3 S Dahani to A Ali
4 FOUR! That's it. Short of a length into the pitch, Asif Ali pulls it away to the deep square leg region as the ball races away to the fence for a boundary. Asif Ali hits the winning runs as B-Love Kandy wins this game by 7 wickets with 9 balls left to notch up their first win in LPL 2023.
18.3 S Dahani to A Ali
WD WIDE! Scores are level now. Good length angling down the leg side as Asif lets it go. Wide is signalled by the umpire.
18.2 S Dahani to A Mathews
1 Good length around off, Mathews drives it through the covers for a single.
18.1 S Dahani to A Mathews
6 SIX! Surely this hit has sealed the deal for Kandy now. Short of a length into the pitch, Mathews pulls it away over the deep midwicket region. The ball goes flat and hard into the stands for the maximum.
B-Love need nine runs from the last two overs. Shahnawaz Dahani comes on to bowl the penultimate over.
