Jaffna vs Stars, 17th Match at Colombo, LPL, Dec 16 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

nails the yorker, and bang! Too quick for a No. 11 that one. The ball landed right in the yorker length on off, as Naveen tried to jam his bat down but was late, as the ball angled in a touch after pitching, and struck middle and off. Seales is off in celebration, as Kings win by a massive 102 runs

slower delivery, which beats the batter as well as the keeper. He digs it in short and outside off, as Naveen thinks of a poke but withdraws his bat, as the ball bounces just ahead of the keeper, who misses too. Four byes

goes for the swing, but misses. Full and outside off, and he tries to slog without any foot movement

pulled just short of fine leg, who dives forward, but the ball just evades his right hand. Short delivery on off, and Naveen pulled with a swivel almost with his eyes off the ball

bowled him! The slower ball does the trick. It was a legcutter, and on a good length on off, as it skidded on off the pitch. Chameera went for the clip while playing across the line to that delivery, and ended up missing it perhaps because it was bowled with a change of pace or maybe even because it didn't really get up off the surface. But anyway, Seales gets his third as Stars lose their ninth

fuller, but on his pads. He taps that toward midwicket and sets off hurriedly for a single

shortish in length outside off, and nudged toward midwicket

bowls roundarm now. Good length ball outside off, and he is beaten on his cut

full on off, and much straighter. This doesn't turn, as it is defended back

this one turns away from him after pitching full and outside off. Chameera went for the sweep but missed

full and outside off. Blocked back with the full face of the bat

outside edge, and the ball flies over the man at slip! Rampaul looked to send this one into space too, as the ball was full and outside off. But he seemed to have had a go at that too early while heaving to the on side, as the ball went over the leaping slip fielder

cracked over the bowler's head! Rampaul can swing a few around after all. The ball is full outside off, and given some air too. But it is right in the slot, as he gets his front leg out of the way to hammer that back

full delivery on middle, and nudged toward midwicket

looks to poke at that fullish ball outside off but is beaten

this keeps very low again. Shortish outside off, and slides away from the batter

and now Banton perishes while trying to swing one out of the ground! Goes for the slog sweep to that tossed up ball which is full on middle and off, and looked to play against the turn. But he ended up skying it high to the man at deep backward square leg, as Viyaskanth has his third

shorter again on middle, and he swivels while trying to tap that to deep backward square leg

and bowls short first up. Pitches a touch wide of off, and so Chameera safely lets that go after a little sway out of the way

looks to ramp, but gets a tickle to the keeper! Seales digs it in short on middle, and gets it to move into the batter, who tries to ride the bounce while attempting to upper-cut that, but seemed to have gloved that to the keeper, who collected that a little high over his head. Stars crumbling here, as Seales gets his second
