Gladiators vs Kings, 19th Match at Colombo, LPL, Dec 17 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

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

back of a length on off, heaved down the ground and beats long-off

slower ball, pushed to on side

nudged to on side for a single

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

length on off, slogged to on side

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

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

takes pace off the ball and Bandara was all over this over. Play and miss

that's some shot there! Full on off, gets low on one knee and carves over cover for another six. Shot of the day so far

dug in short, Bandara pulls one towards wide long on for a couple

too much width outside off, sliced towards backward point

fuller outside off, reaches out for the ball and mows back over the bowlers head for a much needed boundary

fuller outside off, sliced to deep cover for a single

finally gets some wood but not good enough to earn him a run.. miss timed to on side

ohhhh how did that miss? Much closer in line.. Wahab goes for hoick and misses

tossed up on off and another wild heave and a miss

tossed up on off, slog and miss

swept to on side for a single
