Hop over to the other match now, Uthura take on Basnahira at 8 pm local time.

Presentation:

Lasith Malinga: Still have two games and we hope to play good cricket in them, lost it in the second half of our bowling. Riaz batted well, the top-order needs to get runs. Looking forward to the next two games.

Kandamby: Happy with the performance, not a good start but Tharanga and Maik did well, thought this was a 150-run wicket and we bowled well. Not worried in the last few overs.

S Prasanna is the man of the match. He says he is happy to bowl the way he did this game after a not-so-good performance last game.

Uva did not begin well with the bat but finished off on a competitive 155/6 in their 20. Ruhuna never looked like they were in contention and the small margin of loss, of 14 runs is highly flattering, it was some bat-swinging from Wahab Riaz that brought the side close. Presentation in some time.
