Wanindu Hasaranga (B-Love Kandy captain): Really happy with this win! The availability of Dushmantha Chameera and the luxury of having wicket-taking bowlers like Mujeeb Ur Rahman, myself helped a lot today. We hope to keep this performance continued.
Kusal Mendis (Dambulla Aura captain): I think we were around 15 to 20 runs short and I guess out top order needed to fire today. We need to stitch together better partnerships as we go forward in this tournament.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been adjudged the Player of the Match! He returned with special figures of 2/17 from 4 overs in the first innings to set the tone.
BLK finally gets their first win of the LPL 2023 season after a dominant performance to outclass DA by 7 wickets. They have looked very good as a unit and delivered across all fronts to seal the tie comfortably in the end.
After restricting DA to a par score of 156, Fakhar Zaman and Dinesh Chandimal gave BLK the perfect start to their run chase. The duo scripted an opening stand of 69 runs to build the foundation for a win. Dinesh Chandimal continued propelling the scoreboard after Zaman's dismissal and narrowly missed out on his half-century due to a runout.
Angelo Mathews once again gave a sheer testament of his experience to see his team over the line with a deft knock while Asif Ali's quick cameo helped BLK cap off a confident win in style.
For DA, Dhananjaya de Silva and Hayden Kerr were the only wicket-takers with one scalp apiece.
18.3 Shahnawaz Dahani to Asif Ali, FOUR RUNS TO FINISH THE MATCH! B-LOVE KANDY GET THEIR FIRST WIN! Short on leg-stump. Asif Ali gets inside the line and pulls it away to long-leg for an authoritative boundary!
18.3 Shahnawaz Dahani to Asif Ali, WIDE down the leg-side on this occasion with the attempted yorker. Scores are level.
18.2 Shahnawaz Dahani to Angelo Mathews, good length ball around off-stump. Knocked away to deep cover off the back foot for a single to rotate strike.
18.1 Shahnawaz Dahani to Angelo Mathews, round the wicket, SIX! Short around off-stump. Mathews hung back and used the depth of the crease to smash it away over deep mid-wicket for a maximum!
