Galle vs Jaffna, 6th Match at Dambulla, LPL, Jul 05 2024 - Ball by Ball Commentary

and there's the win. Galle triumphed in a thriller between these sides a few days ago, and now Jaffna have had their revenge. Another terrific game. Floated up wide of off, goes hard at the drive, and the thick edge flies away to the right of the keeper, and that is that

full-toss, angling into the stumps, and Omarzai levels the scores with a spanking hit! It was a hittable ball, yes, but how well does he put it away. Pumps his fist after clearing his front leg and launching it over the midwicket boundary

very full, angling into leg stump, and he gets his feet out of the way and whips into the gap between deep midwicket and long-on

and he starts with a wide half-volley that's dispatched. Uses all the width to free his arms and drill it to the right of extra-cover

in the air, and it stays in the air a long, long time, but Tharupathi can't get to it! Slower offcutter wide of off, and Asalanka looks to hit over the covers. He's reaching for the ball, he slices it high, and Tharupathi, running in from deep point, can't quite judge it with the ball swirling around in the wind. Has to dive to his left in the end, and he can't get his hands to the ball

and that's a gorgeous, gorgeous shot. Full, angling in towards off stump, and he steps across and picks it up wristily, lovely use of the bottom hand to get it up and over the midwicket boundary

length ball outside off, not wide this time, swiped down to long-on

again, wide line goes wrong, and Omarzai leaves again. Length ball, looking to force Omarzai to hit that side of the field

on-pace, goes for the wide line and a fullish length, ends up the other side of the tramline. Left alone

slower ball outside off, fairly full, gets forward and flat-bats on the bounce to long-off

slower length ball outside off, flat-batted down to long-off

back of a length outside off, slapped to deep point

heaved away, and it carries all the way over the midwicket boundary! Excellent hit, and he held his shape well against the slower ball. The line wasn't too far outside off this time, and the length was fairly full too. Just cleared his front leg, let the ball get into his arc, and smashed it

better length for that field. Back of a length, angling across, slower ball, and he tries to flat-bat it square and ends up dragging it back to the bowler

low full-toss angling into off stump, whipped away towards deep square leg

slower ball on leg stump, looks to clear his front leg and hoick into the leg side, gets an inside edge into his pad. They take a quick single by the time the bowler can pick the ball up in his follow-through and attempt the run out

four more! Mid-off is in the circle still, and Udana goes full on the stumps. Not quite a yorker, and he punches with a full face and just gets it past mid-off diving to his right

terrific shot. Full, slanting away from off stump, and Omarzai gets down low, onto his back knee, and flat-bats it between mid-off and extra-cover

slower bouncer outside off, waits an eternity before getting on top of the bounce and tapping it down into the point region

full, angling into the stumps, looks to swipe this through midwicket and gets an inside-edge that ricochets off the pad into the covers
