17.4 to PHKD Mendis, he's out now! Madushan ends an outstanding Mendis innings. Down the track, and Madushan bowls it slow, outside off. Mendis is trying to wallop this over deep midwicket, but doesn't time it, and holes out to the fielder out there instead. A solid 58 off 40 balls.. 161/3
Paul van Meekeren	4	0	37	0	9.25	6	3	1	0	0
Chaturanga de Silva	3	0	26	1	8.66	8	3	1	1	0
5.5 to P Nissanka, he's got the big wicket! But it's a soft dismissal for Nissanka, who was batting well. This is flatter, and on the stumps. Nissanka gets low and tries to paddle it past short fine leg, but he hits it in the air, and in the end it is an easy, low catch for the fielder there. Good innings from Nissanka though. Falcons have an excellent start.. 48/1

3.1 to JM Cox, Tickle down leg and Cox has to go! This was a certifiable long hop from Brathwaite, short and going down leg. Cox goes for the pull, but only manages to feather it through off his glove. Fletcher behind the stumps dives full length to his left to take an excellent one-handed catch.. 25/3 5.1 to RTM Mendis, Trapped in front! But Mendis reviews pretty quickly. Was there bat in this? Cos if not, it looks pretty plumb. This length ball nipped back in and had Mendis swiping across the line. He missed and it struck him on the back pad. Replays shows that it's clipping leg stump! It's umpire's call but Mendis has to go.. 42/4 5.2 to MD Shanaka, And he must take the long walk back! The last one nipped away, this one just seams away a touch. It's pretty wide of off, but Shanaka gets a good stride in and pokes at it. Only manages and outside edge through to a grateful Fletcher.. 42/5
Chamika Karunaratne	2	0	11	2	5.50	7	0	1	1	0
2.1 to S Daniel, Sliced straight to point! This was short, just outside off, and Daniel looks to cut this from around chest height. The extra bounce means he can't keep this down, and Bandara at backward point makes this shoulder high catch look simple.. 23/1 2.4 to L Croospulle, The tamest of dismissals for Croospulle! This was a straight delivery on a length, middle and leg. Croospulle looks to whip this through midwicket, but the ball holds up a touch in the surface, and so he can only offer a leading edge that pops up gently towards Hasaranga at mid-off. 24/2
Fabian Allen	1.2	0	5	2	3.75	4	0	0	0	0
6.4 to Sikandar Raza, Another one bites the dust! Raza's horror tournament continues. This was short of a length on off, and Raza's eyes light up as he goes for the heaving pull over deep midwicket. The connection only gets the height though, as Bandara runs in from the boundary line and completes a comfortable take.. 45/6 14.2 to Noor Ahmad, And that should be that! Ahmad goes for the reverse sweep and looks to have been struck on the back pad. The finger goes up, but Dambulla have no choice but to review. It's three reds though and the Falcons secure a 77 run win!. 116/10
Kamindu Mendis	2	0	19	0	9.50	3	2	0	2	0
Chamindu Wijesinghe	3	0	25	3	8.33	6	2	1	1	0
10.2 to PBB Rajapaksa, Top edged and Bhanuka perishes! This was another one dug in shorter, and Bhanuka charges down the track and goes for a wild swing. Only manages a top edge that goes high into the Kandy sky. Fletcher settles under it for a no frills take.. 74/7 10.6 to PC de Silva, And now Chaturanga must go! This was again dug in short, but this time around off. Chaturanga who had made room once more hacks at this, but only manages a top edge that settles nicely for the man at point.. 82/8 12.3 to Pramod Madushan, Caught at short fine! And the Aura are 9 down now! This was short on the pads, and Madushan looks to just help it on its way, but can only find the man in the circle.. 94/9
