Man of the Match
Kusal Mendis
Commentry
That's it from this game then! The action from.the Hundred continues on Monday. Until next time, goodbye and take care.
Tom Curran though was brilliant. His cameo st the end is what helped the Oval team gain a point. It came down to 10 from the last 3 and he managed to get 9noutbkf them. Outstanding from him or it would have been two points for Welsh.
That is it from this game. Another game follows and it is a clash between Kandy and the Kings. That game begins shortly. Until then goodbye and take care.
Man of the Match Award has been given to Kusal Mendis.
Dambulla Aura get back to winning ways. To.be honest it was their batters who set it up by posting something close to 200. Their bowlers were put under pressure, first by Azam and Pathum and then by the latter and Fernando. However, the three got off to starts but could not kick off. They needed someone to go on but Aura always managed to get timely wickets. The likes of Kerr and Noor were excellent. Overall, it was a very good win for Dambulla.
