Squads

Galle Gladiators are currently playing Jaffna Kings.
Jayden Seales has been impressive so far, 1 for 9 off 2 overs....

Now, we get to see Hasaranga coming into bowl...less than 24 hours ago he was playing in the Abu Dhabi T10 Final.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bhanuka Rajapaksa is an excellent touch player

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So Galle Gladiators finish on 164 for 7

Rajapaksa made a sublimed 56 off 31 and Samit Patel with 42 off 31.

Seales being the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 23 off his 4 overs. Hasaranga got 2 for 30 off his 4.

Nuwan Thushara's action is a copy of Lasith Malinga.
Now I have a better look at him, he looks more like Fidel Edwards.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Damn, Noor Ahmed is only 16.

He is an LWS, bowls with a decent pace.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Can anything go wrong for DDS?

After that 150 in the test match last week, he now finds himself, captain of the Stars.

Bowling the first over of the game, he delivered a maiden. Next over, he bowls a wicket maiden.

2-2-0-1

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just under 10 overs remaining and Bhanuka Rajapaksa joins Patel in the middle. Hope he continues with that form from yesterday...looked in great touch!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh well, DDS got him out for 2.
It's DDS's day

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

If Thushara have a bit more pace, he'd be difficult to play with that bowling action.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I haven’t seen Ahmed Shehzad in a while, but now he appears to have lost weight and looks fit af.

SL got two gems in Asalanka and Rajapaksa.

Both of them are stylish left-handers , but there’s something about Rajapaksa and his touch that screams Sangakkara.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is just amazing...I thought that this game was well and truly gonna be abandoned due to the state of the outfield. Now we're hearing that only six overs have been lost for each innings. A 14-over affair.

9:28pm/b> Stunning news from Khettarama. We're clear to restart in a matter of minutes. And each innings has lost only six overs, so we'll get a 14-overs-a-side game. As usual, the Lankan groundstaff are miracle workers.

They have the best covers and rain recovery there in Sri Lanka. Mainly coz they have had to, given their weather and when they get cricket arranged there. But its still bloody impressive.

A really spectacular effort from them. They should get all the awards after the match.



Meanwhile, Avishka Fernando just smacked 5 sixes in a row...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

14 sixes in 10 overs already. just insane.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Al-Amin Hossain has been good in this game, well, his first over, but now he's been tasked with bowling the final over of the innings.
He's got a good slower ball and a yorker.
As I'm typing this, he picks up the wicket of Wanindu with an excellent slower ball.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Asalanka is opening the batting.

Yes!

182 to get in 14 overs. Good luck with that.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh wait, DLS brings down the target to 181 lol

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Asalanka v Hasaranga. Yeah boy!

2 balls. 2 fours
