We're on the same pitch. It looks sluggish, there are some marks on the good length area and there's plenty of moisture in it. Dambulla have the advantage, spinners will be crucial.

Commentary

Thank you very much for joining us - Pradeep and Mohul - for this exciting game of cricket here in the Lanka Premier League in which Kandy Falcons beat Dambulla Sixers by a whopping 54 runs. This will give the Falcons a huge shot in the arm ahead of their push for the playoff berth. We hope you enjoyed it, and until next time, stay tuned to Sportskeeda!

Wanindu Hasaranga (Player of the Match and Kandy Falcons' captain): It was a good toss to lose, especially on this kind of a wicket. We read the wicket well. Our finishers did extremely well. I think spinners should vary their pace on such surfaces. The 4-5 metre length will be hard to hit.

Mohammad Nabi (Dambulla Sixers' captain): When the conditions demand something from you, you have to respect that and bowl according to that. Hemantha bowled well, yes, but the others did not bowl really well. We should have been better with the ball in hand.

Kandy Falcons beat Dambulla Sixers by 54 runs!

Kusal Perera 74 (40) | Wanindu Hasaranga 4-35
Andre Fletcher 60 (34) | Dushan Hemantha 3-14

Kandy Falcons sailed to a comfortable victory here and the Dambulla Sixers just could not come to grips with what came their way. The latter will be extremely disappointed with themselves for the way they played in this match, and will hope that they can improve themselves somewhat ahead of their next game.

Kandy, however, covered all bases in this delayed game and made sure that they picked up a convincing win at the end of the evening. Dambulla will want to take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror and try to make sure that they improve themselves considerably ahead of their next match.

Kandy, nonetheless, will celebrate tonight as they were on fire in all three departments and put up a stupendous show. Dambulla know that they have a lot of things to cover and will want to make sure that they improve upon their spin-playing skills as well. Wanindu Hasaranga ran amok today and troubled them immensely with his impressive variations.

19.6 Chaturanga de Silva to Nuwan Thushara, FALCONS KEEP THEIR HOPES ALIVE! It was a must win game, and Falcons have turned up and how, brilliant all round display from Kandy who are just hanging by a thread in the competition here. Length delivery in the channel, Thushara has a wild swing and a miss.

19.5 Chaturanga de Silva to Dilshan Madushanka, short outside the off-stump, Madushanka rocks back and slaps it down to long-off for just one.

19.4 Chaturanga de Silva to Nuwan Thushara, OH! Short into the batter, Thushara goes for the swipe, loses his bat as it went flying towards square-leg and he gets a single too.

Nuwan Thushara, RHB, is the last batter.

19.3 Chaturanga de Silva to Dushan Hemantha, OUT! STUMPED! de Silva strikes to pick up his first wicket. Length delivery outside the off-stump, entices the batter as Hemantha uses his feet again and has a wild swing but misses. Chandimal with a sharp glove work as Hemantha can't make it back in time.
