Gladiators vs Stallions, 9th Match at Hambantota, LPL, Dec 03 2020 - Match Result

languid finish from DDS. This is flatter and faster from Akila, and DDS steps out and launches him back over his head for a one-bounce four

legbreak I think, pitched on legstump and turning. Wanindu makes room and clubs this down the ground. Long on fields. Scores a tied

full delivery, googly again I think, whipped away to deep midwicket for an unfrussy one

Googly to start, and I think that's out! Malik stepped out and tried to send this screaming through cover, but he's hit that slightly in the air, and Lakshan Dhananjaya has done incredibly well at short cover to dive to his right and pluck a catch while the ball was traveling rapidly past him. Not sure this will be enough to stop Stallions, Lakshan's performance in the last few overs has been fantastic

another boundary behind square on the offside. Amir not bowling to his field here. This is back of a length and outside off stump. Wanindu opens the face again, and beats a diving short third man to get help himself to the fourth four of the over

slower ball outside off angled across the batsman. Hasaranga chases it but can't get bat to it. Almost a wide, but that's fine

back of a length ball outside off stump that Hasaranga tries to slap to the offside but misses. A little bit of extra bounce again

another dinky shot, which Hasaranga middles, and that's another fine boundary. This is such clever batting. Again Amir goes full and wide, but he has third man in the circle this time. Hasaranga places it beautifully, opening the face, and bisecting the short third man and backward point. Any pressure created by Lakshan's over has been released

what. a. player. Bowler of the tournament so far, and he's easing his team's nerves with the bat now. This is overpitched wide of off and Hasaranga drills this powerfully past cover, and beats the fielders running around to try and cut that off in the deep.

deft work first ball from Hasaranga, opening the face to a full wide-ish yorker and getting it to zoom away fine of third man for four

what an over from Lakshan! Created three chances and this one is finally taken. This is a short of a length delivery, again getting a little extra bounce, that Avihska tries to launch over long on. But he gets it off the top half of the bat and it goes high into the night. Long on runs in and gets under it. DHananjaya Lakshan has brough Galle back into the game

that's outside the tram lines, wide of off stump

another swing and a miss as Lakshan bowls another one into the pitch and seems to be getting extra bounce

has he nicked that? I thiink so. That's a quicker one from Lakshan, which Avishka tries to crash over long on, but he nicks it and would you believe it, Azam Khan has put down the regulation chance behind the wicket

slower short ball again, Avishka misses

terrible misfield by Jayasuriya on the long off boundary. That was hit in the air and almost carried. Jayasuriya was attack the ball looking for the catch at first, but changed his minde halfway, and didn't manage to stop the boundary. He got his hands to it but fumbled

slower one, 105kph, into the wicket, so it gets up to about waist high. Avishka tries to ramp it and misses

full and wide again, carved away with good timing behind square by Avishka, but he hits that deep backward point fielder

full and wide, almost a yorker. Malik throws his bat at that and squeezes it away to deep point

short of a length delivery outside off stump. Opens his face but can't beat short third man. They think about a run but decide against, wisely
