Tuskers vs Kings, 1st Match at Hambantota, LPL, Nov 26 2020 - Match Result

this is closer into the stumps and this is lifted over the legside toward midwicket, but Tuskers need six to win and they won't get it. It lands well short. Colombo Kings have somehow clawed this one back

Full and wide, carved to deep point for a single

this is down the legside and should be a wide. No? The umpire doesn't call it. Strange. Gurbaz shuffles to off, but that shouldn't make a difference here. That should be wide. But it's not called as such.

Still no slower ball from Udana, which you expected. Gurbaz bangs that way back over the bowlers head for six

Stays in his place this time, and Udana goes full and wide. Gurbaz carves that high, backward of point, and beats the fielders to get four

runs way across the stumps and tries to smack that over short fine leg, but misses completely. A dot ball to start

decent yorker wide-ish of off stump, drilled wide of long on, and they sprint two as the fielders run across to cut it off

full ball wide of off stump. Too wide. AAAnd the batsmen run a bye. So not only is it a wide, but Russell is back on strike.

Mathews gets himself into the super over. Poor ball from from Pradeep. Knee high full toss that's larruped past square leg for four

spears one int Russell's boot. Back of the hand slower ball I think. Russell can't connect. It dribbles off into the offside and the run a legbue

back of a length into the waist and Russell bashes this, high over deep square leg

Udana connects, but doesn't connect well enough. Fullish again, into the pads again, Udana hits it high into the legside and Kusal Mendis runs around from deep midwicket to get a good running catch

fast, fullish, speared into the pads, Russell tries to swing this over the legside and misses. The ball deflects off to the offside and the run a leg bye

SUPER OVER in the first over of this league. You've got to be joking. Udana slams another one to long on and runs two. Insane.

two runs down the ground. Udana tries to hit the four down the ground, but can only get two

Qais is not happy with how Udana is playing this. Asela finally gets a good ball in and, Udana gets an inside edge on to his pad. Qais is screaming for a single and running through, but Udana is not interested in the slightest. He turns him back and Kusal Perera easily runs him out

Another full toss. This is turning the game around. Udana latches on to this one as well, and smashes this over lang on for six as well. Not as big as the last, but plenty big enough.

Is Gunaratne losing his nerve? This is fired down leg

this could go down to the wire folks. This is a knee-high full toss, which Udana duly wallops way over long on for six. 12 off 4 now.

Tuskers should have down better here. Short ball, which Udana mis-hits. gets it out to deep midwicket and a good throw might have had the batsmen in trouble. But it's not a great throw

full outside off, steered to third man so Udana can keep the stike.

low full toss outside off, drilled to long on

a swing and miss now. Back of a length ball into the pitch. Qais groans as he fails to connect.

doesn't miss this time. Damn. What a shot. Overpitched from Pradeep who is looking for the yorker, and Qais slams that back over the bowler's head all the way for four. Flat and hard

slower ball, length outside off. Qais swings big and misses

thigh-high full toss that's banged over wide long off for four. Qais is getting into the act properly

full toss on the toes and flicked beautifully off the toes for fours for four. It's a no-ball for too-few fielders in the circle too. That's not acceptable from the Tuskers

even better from Udana, who is intent on taking this into the last few.. This six is way over cover, as Anjula goes outside off stump and gets carved high over the offside

into the ribs and Udana punishes that high over deep square leg for six. Until he's gone, Tuskers can't rest. that's a super shot

pushes this to mid off and sprints. Had the fielder hit at the non-strikers' end he would have run Qais out

way down the offside

wide of off stump, a fullish delivery, and Udana tries to blast that way over the offside. It's a huge top edge though, and its'\ dropped. Kusal Mendis should have held that one, running in from cover, but grasses it.

shuffles to off and gets it to deep midwicket
