Noor Ahmed takes a blinder to wrap up the game. Slower ball on off. Lakmal swings to heaven and Noor at deep mid-wicket slid across and takes a good catch

Full commentary
Do join us for the second game. This is Thilak signing off. Revoir...!
Perera: I think we had so many changes today, that was the issue. This is a wake up call for us. We have to consider to check the bench strength and we'll come back strong next game. We are here to focus one match a day.
Rajapaksa - the winning captain and the player of the match: It was good toss to win but the wicket was not good to bat on. We were targeting over 130 but we couldn't. The team has been real confident and thanks the owners that we go for the kill. Beating Kings twice in a row and we'll take them on play-offs.
Well, I do not have words to explain this run chase. 129 was very doable but Kings had their way to lose this one. Except Gurbaz none of the batters looked dominate the bowlers but allowed the opposition to dictate terms.
On a turning wicket you need to keep farming strike which wasn't the case. By the time Malik started to show some promise the run-rate had already rocketed over 8.5. And to add to their dismay, their running between the wicket was speechless, no calling, blind running which eventually bought their downfall. On the other hand, spinners kept a strangle hold on the batter and kept chipping away with wickets. Noor, Hafeez and Samit were fantastic. Taranga's wicket column may not read any numbers but kept them in check with wrong ones and sliders. The catching and fielding were top notch too.

Pulina Tharanga to Viyaskanth, OUT
what's happening here? This looks as bad as school cricket. Googly to begin with, thuds on the pad and looks for a single and realizes there's never a run there but lazily plonks his bat back in. Meanwhile Mendis does what he had done all day long, another underarm aim and he's short

what blunder from Bandara there. Lakmal digs one down the ground, there was never a two there. Bandara blindly turns for the second run, Lakmal sends him back. Udana rockets to the keepers end and Mendis has to collect the ball way down the leg and had to underarm at the stump. Despite of the desperate dive, Bandara is way short

down the track and goes big. Doesn't get the requisite distance but enough to keep the long-off in check. Man out there could've done a whole lot better

Pulina Tharanga to Wahab Riaz, OUT
he's gone! Fuller on off stump, gets a thick inside edge and Bandara calls for a suicidal run. Tharanga picks up the ball and cracks at the bowlers end. Wahab probably 4 yard short there
