Galle Titans tied with Dambulla Aura (Galle Titans win Super Over by 2 wickets)

That is it from this game. Galle Titans are off to a winning start. Another game coming your way shortly. B-Love Kandy will take on Colombo Strikers. So, switch the tabs and join us there. Cheers!
Kusal Mendis says it was a very good game but disappointed in few areas and hopes to do it better in the next game. Adds they conceded too many in the last few overs and even didn't start well with the bat.
Dasun Shanaka is the Player of the Match. He says they did well in all departments. Adds they could have done welll with the ball but credits how Dambulla Aura batted. Shares they will improve in their bowling.
...Presentation time...
Later on, Kasun Rajitha failed to defend around 15 in the final over of the innings but gave away just 9 in the Super Over which turned out as a winning contribution as Galle Titans chased down with ease. Both teams overall will be disappointed with their fielding, in high pressure both dropped some catches and gave away some easy runs as well. Still, the first game so a lot of time to rectify the issue. For now, Galle Titans are off the mark this season in style.
What a game we witnessed! It did come down to the Super Over and it is Galle Titans who came out on top. While Dambulla Aura were chasing, it felt like they will be beaten by a small margin but Ross had other ideas. He batted despite losing wickets at the other end. The other batters just like for Galle got to a start but failed to convert. Dasun Shanaka though stepped up with the bat and ball. 42 not out and later 3 wickets to take the game.

FOUR! Finds the gap! That is a gift to begin with and now Galle Titans need only 6 from 5. A full toss outside off, this is lofted over cover for a boundary.
So, 10 runs needed for Galle Titans to win. Superb bowling from Kasun Rajitha and his team will be the favorites to win. They have the experience and possibly the upper hand right now. Still, big 6 balls to bowl. Looks like Binura Fernando will bowl.

FOUR! Off the outside edge! Perfect start for Dambulla Aura! Full and outside off, Kusal Perera looks to jam it through point but it goes off the bottom and down to the third man fence.
Second match of the season and we have already seen all the drama. We have a Super Over. Dambulla Aura have one man to thank and he is Ross. He single-handedly took his team almost over the line. Galle Titans had the chance to seal the game but dropped Ross in the final over. Looks like Alex Ross will walk back in for the Super Over. He is joined by Kusal Perera. Kasun Rajitha to bowl...
