Dambulla Aura vs Galle Titans, 14th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Binura Fernando to Rajitha, out Rajitha Run Out!! 1 run completed. No chance for the 2nd there. Finally Rajitha gets bat on the slower ball off-cutter on the stumps, flicks to deep backward square leg and Rajitha is well short as he comes back for the 2nd. The throw is right on top of the stumps and easy for Kusal Mendis. Rajitha run out (Dhananjaya/Kusal Mendis) 1(5)

Binura Fernando to Lahiru Samarakoon, out Lahiru Samarakoon Run Out!! 1 run completed. Again Samarawickrama it is. He charges in from deep backward square leg and gets to the ball, even though the throw is flat, it's well wide of Kusal Mendis who catches and flicks it back, catching a diving Lahiru Samarakoon short. The batters were going for the 2nd but caught just short. Lahiru Samarakoon run out (Samarawickrama/Kusal Mendis) 6(10)

Hasan Ali to Ngarava, 2 runs, all action this ball. A wide yorker length delivery outside off, dug out to backward point who dives to his right and cuts it off well, attempts a run-out at the bowler's end - direct-hit would have got Ngarava, instead they go for one more and again a chance of a run-out but the throw from long-on hits Ngarava on the back. He did not change his line of running even as Hasan Ali appeals for obstruction. So a tight single turns out into two

Hasan Ali to Shanaka, out Caught by Samarawickrama!! Fine running diving take by Samarawickrama at long-off. A slower ball off-cutter outside off, makes Shanaka fetch from there, the loft does not have the elevation but it's dropping short of long-off, Samarawickrama runs in and dives forward to slide and take a superb catch. So well judged. Big wicket too. Shanaka c Samarawickrama b Hasan Ali 36(26) [4s-5]

Hasan Ali to Shanaka, FOUR, Shanaka in full flow. It's a slower short ball on the stumps, Shanaka makes room outside the leg-stump and slashes over backward point. No fielders there deep on the fence

Hayden Kerr to Shanaka, FOUR, Shanaka is peppering the whole off-side field now. Knows the line will be wide outside off, it's the slower ball and he has lofted it hard and wide of extra-cover

Hayden Kerr to Shanaka, FOUR, Shanaka is now looking for boundaries. Again gives the charge to Hayden Kerr and slices the drive through backward point, gets it wide of deep backward point as well

Hayden Kerr to Shanaka, FOUR, lucky. Shanaka walks at Hayden Kerr, it's a wide yorker length delivery across him, he drives and the toe-ender beats a diving DdS to his left at short third man

Hasan Ali to Lahiru Samarakoon, 1 run, short on the stumps, Lahiru Samarakoon pulls to deep backward square leg

Hayden Kerr to Sohan de Livera, out Bowled!! Hayden Kerr comes back and gets a wicket. A slower ball off-cutter on a length outside off, Sohan de Livera with a premeditated scoop, gets low to play and misses, the off-stump is knocked back. Sohan de Livera b Hayden Kerr 12(11) [4s-1]

Hemantha to Sohan de Livera, FOUR, no chance for Binura this time. Was tossed up outside the leg-stump, swept to the pacer's right and it runs away

Noor Ahmad to Shanaka, FOUR, the googly and it's fraction short outside off, Shanaka cuts in the air but well wide of backward point. A boundary after 20 balls according to Aamer Sohail on air

Hemantha to Priyanjan, out Stumped!! No mistakes this time from Kusal Mendis. The big legbreak outside off, Priyanjan gets forward to loft inside-out, the ball lands short of the drive and beats the outside-edge, drags his back foot out and Mendis is quick to whip the bails off. Poor shot that with the ball spinning so much. Galle in big trouble here. Priyanjan st Kusal Mendis b Hemantha 9(14)

Noor Ahmad to Priyanjan, no run, missed stumping! What a ball. Tossed up just outside off, Priyanjan gets forward to work across the line, pitches and just about turns away to beat the outside-edge, Kusal Mendis is hit on the arm as the bounce defeats him. Priyanjan was outside the crease but Mendis not picking the ball made the batter to get back

Noor Ahmad to Shakib, out Bowled!! Lovely delivery and Shakib is knocked over. He went back to this sharp googly, pitches outside off and spins back sharply to beat the inside-edge and clip the off-stump. The length was too full to go back there and Shakib did not pick the googly either. Shakib b Noor Ahmad 13(13) [4s-1]

Hemantha to Shakib, FOUR, width outside off and Shakib reaches for it to cut between backward point and short third man. Superbly placed

Hemantha to Bowes, out Bowled!! Bowes doesn't know he is gone. He is puzzled. A ripping tossed up legbreak around leg-stump, Bowes kneels to slogsweep and misses, just flicks the top of the leg bail. They send is upstairs and Kusal Mendis's gloves are nowhere near the bails. Bowes b Hemantha 22(18) [4s-3]

Hemantha to Bowes, 1 run, tossed up full on the stumps, Bowes slogsweeps to deep mid-wicket

Hemantha to Bowes, FOUR, short and width provided outside off, the legbreak and Bowes cuts, the thick outside-edge flies away through the vacant slip

Hasan Ali to Bowes, FOUR, fine shot that. A slower ball off-cutter full outside off, Bowes gets forward and times the drive, no chance for cover-point to his right

Dhananjaya to Bowes, FOUR, full and down leg, easy delivery for Bowes who sweeps wide of short fine-leg, was the roller from the front of the hand and it went wrong

Dhananjaya to Shevon Daniel, out Caught by Hemantha!! Dhananjaya strikes. A tossed up offbreak outside off, extra bounce and a hint of it, Shevon Daniel already goes down to sweep, can't change his shot midway, the top-edge floats to backward square leg who comes in to take a simple catch. Shevon Daniel c Hemantha b Dhananjaya 7(9) [4s-1]

Binura Fernando to Seifert, out Bowled!! The change of ends works for Binura Fernando. A slower ball off-cutter and full on off, Seifert misses the flick across the line and the off-stump is rattled. Seifert was trying to get that too square. Seifert b Binura Fernando 15(12) [6s-1]

Hasan Ali to Seifert, SIX, that's what he can do. A length delivery just outside off, Seifert stays back and muscles the loft way over long-on. Clean swing of the bat

Binura Fernando to Shevon Daniel, FOUR, beautiful shot this. A short of length delivery outside off, Shevon Daniel opens the face of the bat as he punches and the ball flies wide of backward point and to the fence
