Pitch Report

When you go the center, it is pretty good. But as you get closer to the batter, there are lots of rough patches for the spinners to exploit. So, it won't get any easier to bat on. I would think 170 is a good score, but the batters have to use their feet tonight.

Commentary

So that will be all from today's action at the Lanka Premier League, 2024. But we will come right back tomorrow with the final match of the group stage to see who becomes the fourth and final team to qualify for the playoffs. This is the pair of Arya and Bidipto taking your leave now. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Thisara Perera (Colombo Strikers captain): Pleased with this win! We have done the first thing and that is qualify for the playoffs. Now, we have another opportunity tomorrow to carry the winning momentum forward. We read the conditions and the pitch nicely. Our bowlers did a good job in chipping away with wickets at regular intervals and our batters batted maturely to close out the game like the way they did!

Niroshan Dickwella (Galle Marvels captain): Disappointed that we could not win today but a consolation from this loss is that we have ensured finishing in the top two. I think we let a few runs out there in the first innings. Another 20-odd runs could have made it more interesting on this wicket.

Matheesha Pathirana (Player of the Match, 4/20 off 3.5 overs): My performances have been up and down, but I wasn't really thinking too much about the previous games, just focused on this one, executed my plans and got my rewards tonight!

Colombo Strikers win by 7 wickets with 10 balls to spare!

Waseem Muhammad 50 (44) | Matheesha Pathirana - 4/20 (3.5)
Tim Seifert 44 (38) | Maheesh Theekshana - 1/17 (4)

An excellently paced run chase has ensured that the Colombo Strikers are in the playoffs!

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Waseem Muhammad got them off to a great start with a score in excess of 60 runs in the power play. Gurbaz chose a wrong delivery to to go after and got cleaned up but Waseem, after surviving twice, made the chance count and picked up an important half-century.

Glenn Phillips played a really good hand by hanging in there and not letting anything slip at any stage. He batted for 32 deliveries and scored 31 runs but ensured that one end was held up right till the end.

Bowling-wise, apart from Maheesh Theekshana, no other bowler got the kind of control in to both pick up wickets and be economical. Jeffrey Vandersay was decent, threatening the batters at times, but he failed to pick up a wicket. The extras that they gave away did not help matters either.

But as Colombo Strikers could not chase these runs down in 12 overs, Galle Marvels have ensured a top two finish in the points table!

18.2 Sahan Arachchige to Sadeera Samarawickrama, FINISHED OFF IN STYLE! FOUR RUNS TO END THE MATCH! Good length ball on off-stump. Sadeera moves across the line and slog-sweeps with the turn over square-leg for a boundary!

18.1 Sahan Arachchige to Glenn Phillips, over the wicket, full toss on the pads. Driven down to long-on off the front foot for a single. Scores are level.

17.6 Isuru Udana to Glenn Phillips, really full on off-stump now. Drilled out of the block hole down to long-on for a single to regain strike.

17.5 Isuru Udana to Sadeera Samarawickrama, really full outside off-stump. Squirted away to the third man region for a single from deep in the crease.
