That's it from our coverage from the first game of the Sunday doubleheader of LPL 2024. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Pritam Dey and our scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal.
Niroshan Dickwella(Galle Marvels Captain): "It was a good toss to win and Isuru Udana bowled fantastic. I gave him one more over for that reason. Our batters know their strength and they did what they are good at.
We wanted to take the bowlers on. Alex Hales and I tried to do that. We were successful in doing that and perhaps that was the highest run in powerplay in LPL!"

Wanindu Hasaranga(Kandy Falcons Captain): "Thank you for appreciating the knock. I think we were 15-20 runs short. The ball was initially hanging but the wicket became better. Fletcher, Mathews and I batted well.
We tried to bowl with discipline but failed to do so. If we had done that, it was defendable."

Isuru Udana(Player of the Match): "I think the wickets are very flat and the ground is also small. Taking early wickets is the key and I did it today. There was not much of swing and I tried to bowl it in proper areas. I sticked to my basic and that has paid off."
Player of the Match- Isuru Udana
18:23 IST and Local Time | Galle Marvels have secured a comfortable victory over Kandy Falcons by 6 wickets and with 17 balls remaining.
Coming to bat first after losing the toss, Kandy found themselves in quagmire as they lost Dinesh Chandimal, Muhammad Haris, Kamindu Mendis and Pavan Rathnayake inside the powerplay. Their only hope was Andre Fletcher, who continued his good form to register another fifty in this edition's LPL but got out in an unfortunate manner on 50. Angelo Mathews struggled to play shots today and he contributed 25 from 27 balls.
The star of the batting show was the skipper Wanindu Hasaranga. He took on the bowlers right from the start and hit everything correctly. He remained unbeaten on 65 from 32 balls with 7 fours and 3 sixes. Had there been more contribution from the lower order, Kandy would have reached 190 today.
Isuru Udana was the star of the show with the ball picking up 3 wickets for 30 runs. Zahoor Khan took 2 wickets for 29 runs. Maheesh Theekshana and Dwaine Pretorius chipped in with one wicket each.
Coming to chase the run, Niroshan Dickwella started with three boundaries against Shoriful but got out in the final ball of the first over for 12. After his dismissal, Alex Hales and Tim Seifert continued the carnage. The duo helped their team to put up 89 runs in the powerplay, including a 27 run over of Wanindu Hasaranga. Hales got out by Hasaranga on 38 off 19 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes. However that didn't stop Seifert. He continued to hit boundaries. He reached his fifty and played very watchfully after that.
He got the second fiddle from Bhanuka Rajapaksa(16), Janith Liyanage)(11) and Sahan Arachchige(9*) and remained unbeaten on 82 from 49 balls to see his team coming out with flying colours. He hit 11 fours and a couple of maximums on his way.
Shoriful Islam took 2 wickets and Wanindu Hasaranga and Lakshan Sandakan shared two wickets between them for the Kandy Falcons.
