Kandy vs Kings, 15th Match at Colombo, LPL, Aug 12 2023 - Match Result

Bashes a full-length ball on an attacking line outside off, pulls it away to midwicket region and it's all over for Jaffna. The snake is out on the field to congratulate Chameera for spitting venom in the last over.

In the blockhole on middle and off, jammed down to mid-on and it will only be a single.

Another full delivery outside off, bashes it away past extra cover and will have to settle for a couple. This has been an incredible over from Chameera so far, hasn't missed his length yet

Rams the yorker in the blockhole and he flicks it away into the acres of spaces at deep midwicket and they scurry for the second run, throw is not spot on from the deep. 13 off 3

Nails a brilliant yorker on middle, clears his front leg and clobbers it away to deep midwicket to bring up a well-deserved half-century but the job is not done yet

Hits a full-length outside off, steered down to deep backward point. 17 off 5 required

Finishes the over well with a wide yorker and he can't get underneath it properly, forces it down the carpet as long-off runs across to cut that off as Malik scampers for a brace

Skips down the track and clips this off the pads to square of midwicket. Can Malik finish the over with a boundary?

Bashes a length ball, banging it into the deck and cramping him for room, he connects it to square leg and the fielder is standing deep so they get back for the second run and make it comfortably

Another low full toss wide of off, whisks it away to sweeper. Jaffna need a few big meaty blows to stay in the hunt

Oh, that's a precious dot! Spears it full and it he gets to curl away outside off, tries to sweep it across the line but only grabs fresh air

Terrific running between the wickets, plonks this full ball on off to long-off and the throw is not that sharp so they wind up getting a second run with ease

Appeal for an lbw but there is no use because it's a free hit even though it wasn't a no ball on the last delivery but the on-field umpire decision stood. Searches for the yorker and ends up bowling a full toss on the pads, tries to flick that away but can't connect

Now that's a cardinal sin at this stage of the game. Pradeep, what have you done? But wait, that's not a no ball, his foot was behind the line and Mathews is having a word with umpire as the batter pushes this full ball to long-on for a run and brought Malik on strike.

Is there a twist in this tale? Massive swish outside off and he tickles it to Chandimal. Perera perishes after a valiant 36 so it's all down to Malik now! He has found himself in a similar situation on many occasions while playing for Pakistan. Can he roll back the years and get Jaffna over the line?

Finishes the over well with a toe-crusher and he digs it out behind square on the leg side, backward square intercepts the ball

Pradeep is clearly under the cosh now, pressure is getting better to him. A slower one pitching on a length and skids away outside leg stump

That might be called a no-ball and yes it is given a no-ball! Dishes out a full bunger outside off, got the yorker wrong and he slaps that to Haris at long-off.

Fuller and outside off, smashed for a six, just got enough power behind the shot to clear the fence, goes over long-off

Play and a miss! On a length and meandering away outside off, it was in his arc and he went for a full blooded thwack to the covers but just can't lay bat on it
