Kandy Falcons vs Jaffna Kings, T20, Qualifier 1, December 21, 2022 - Match Info

So that winds up things for this game. We have another game coming up which is the Eliminator. Hop tabs to follow that as the coverage begins soon. I'm escaping then. Bye.

Thisara Perera: If we are doing our best things, we are on top of the other teams. Everyone is fully fit and looking to play the best team for the finals.

Wanindu Hasaranga: Of course. We are short by 20-30 runs. That cost us. He will play, he is fit [on Chamika Karunaratne for tomorrow].

Vijaykanth Viyaskanth: Try to bowl wicket to wicket and the coaches helped me a lot.

19:00 Local Time, 13:30 GMT, 19:00 IST: The game has been abandoned. Jaffna win on DLS and move to the final. They started the chase in a hurry taking 18 off Isuru Udana's first over and never looked back from there. They were always ahead on DLS as two rain breaks came. The second one put an end to the game. Kandy conceded too many boundary balls and were sloppy with their bowling. They allowed Jaffna to get away to a fast start chasing a modest total and that's where the game was lost. Kandy though will have another chance to get to the final as they will play in Qualifier 2. Hang on for the presentation.

18:25 Local Time, 12:55 GMT, 18:25 IST: And off they go. Jaffna are well ahead on DLS. They will win this if the rain does not relent.
