So another chasing team wins another match. This is turning into quite the trend. Hales, Dickwella, and Rajapaksa have been excellent in the chase, but don't forget the contribution of Prabath Jayasuriya, whose 3 for 30 really helped restrict Falcons to 187 for 9.

19.2
4
Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, FOUR runs

spanked over cover for a one-bounce four, and that's the game. Rajapaksa knows how to hit spin, and he gets them home comfortably. This is to a flat ball outside off.

19.1
1
Ramesh Mendis to Hales, 1 run

fullish ball on the stumps, mowed to deep midwicket. Hits it poorly though, so the fielder gets around to it

4
Fletcher to Rajapaksa, FOUR runs

ruins the over! This is fired wide of off, and Rajapaksa gets down and slices this over backward point for four. a lovely, wristy shot. And one that puts Marvels on the brink.

18.5
1
Fletcher to Hales, 1 run

shortish ball into the body, Hales gets it in the splice, shovels it into the legside, and they run

18.4
Fletcher to Hales, no run

tossed up, turning away as Hales again plays a big shot and misses. What does a tight over here do now?

18.3
2
Fletcher to Hales, 2 runs

length ball, pushed through outside off. Chopped to deep cover and they sprint two

18.2
Fletcher to Hales, no run

flatter outside off, but full. Hales goes for a big slog and misses

18.1
1lb
Fletcher to Rajapaksa, 1 leg bye

fired down leg, and the keeper can't collect cleanly so they take another extra. Acutally, Fletcher has reviewed this because he thinks that's hit the back of the pad. It has. So it's just a bye, not a wide.

Fletcher is back to bowl the penultimate over, incredibly.

17.6
1
Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, 1 run

down the track, beaten in the flight and doesn't get close to the pitch, but goes through with the shot anyway. Gets an under edge that takes it past the keeper.

17.5
4
Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, FOUR runs

flatter, a little wide outside off, Bhanuka opens the face and runs it fine. Short third should have stopped that but dives over it. Ramesh is not happy.

17.4
Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, no run

flat outside off. Bhanuka tries to flay it through the offside, but the under edge means it goes nowhere

17.3
1
Ramesh Mendis to Hales, 1 run

the big sweep comes out to another flatter delivery, but Hales under-edges it and it goes to deep backward square

17.2
Ramesh Mendis to Hales, no run

flat and fast at the stumps, chopped to point

17.1
1
Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, 1 run

16.5
4
Shoriful Islam to Rajapaksa, FOUR runs

lovely touch from Bhanuka. This is another short ball, but just wide of off. And Rajapakse waits for it and ramps it delicately over the keeper for four.

Shoriful Islam to Rajapaksa, 2 runs
16.3
1
Shoriful Islam to Hales, 1 run

bashed through the legside, and deep midwicket takes it on the bounce. This was to a bouncer, about chest high.

16.2
6
Shoriful Islam to Hales, SIX runs

almost caught on the deep backward point boundary! But it's a six instead. This is full outside off, carved hard by Hales, in the air. Kamindu Mendis climbs into the night and gets a hand to it, but it's an impossible task. Hales has hit it just far enough

16.1
Shoriful Islam to Hales, no run

length ball, wide of off, Hales tries to smear this down the ground but gets an under edge to it

Shoriful again.
