Nissanka departed on 71 off 41 balls. Fletcher played beautifully and brought up his ton. He remained unbeaten on 102 off 67 balls to help his side post a mammoth 199 on the board.
In reply, the Stars faltered as their batters never got going. They kept losing wickets at regular intervals and the required run rate kept climbing up.
Wanindu Hasaranga, skipper of the Falcons, bowled brilliantly and picked up a hat-trick. He finished with figures of 4/14 in his three overs. Fabian Allen also chipped in with a couple of scalps as they knocked over the Stars for 90 in 14.3 overs and won the game comprehensively by 109 runs.
