Colombo Kings vs Kandy Tuskers, 1st Match, Lanka Premier League 2020 - HighlightsCLK vs KDT, 1st Match, Lanka Premier League 2020 - Highlights

Chameera to Prasanna, FOUR, oh unlucky for the bowler. Prasanna moved both sides in the crease, Chameera rushed him with a yorker, an inside edge escapes past short fine leg

Chameera to Gunaratne, FOUR, oh smashed down the ground, back foot deep inside the crease to convert this very full length delivery into a slot ball and long-off had no chance

Chameera to Kusal Perera, out Caught by Priyanjan!! Top edge, top edge, it's flying away, ohhh that's a brilliant catch running back from short fine leg. How did he pull that off? Was the short delivery, Perera went for the pull, got a big edge on that, Priyanjan did really well to keep his eyes on the ball despite running back and he stretched to take the catch and controlled it really well. Perera goes 13 short of a deserved hundred. Kusal Perera c Priyanjan b Chameera 87(52) [4s-9 6s-4]

Gony to Gunaratne, FOUR, swung away on the on-side, oh great wrist work, this guy has a knack of placing the ball in the gaps. Walked across to swipe this full ball behin square on the on-side knowing there was no one in the deep

Gony to Gunaratne, FOUR, lovely slower ball yorker, squeezed well and the man at short third fumbles, should have been just one. Aponso was the fielder

Gony to Kusal Perera, FOUR, clever boundary, but did that take the bat? Given as runs. Perera moved off-side to help this length delivery past short fine leg, it went to the boundary but it may have come off the pad as well

Udana to Gunaratne, FOUR, top hit! Top because he moved a long way across the off stump knowing the big gap at cow corner and managed to place the pull perfectly, splitting long-on and deep mid-wicket

Udana to Kusal Perera, SIX, now Udana has been smashed over mid-wicket as he misses the yorker, full and in the slot, powered over the rope

Udana to Gunaratne, 1 run, in the airrr and it's safe. Chandimal called for it as he had to gloves, but short fine leg was well in range for the catch at backward square leg, He stopped because the keeper said it's mine. Gunaratne was early in position to scoop this slower ball from wide of off, but got away with the top edge

Chameera to Kusal Perera, SIX, can't be predictable in this format. Chameera will look back on this outing. He's just trying one thing - the wide yorker. It came off first two deliveries, but he's missed otherwise and the over is now worth 18 runs with this lovely lofted drive over cover

Chameera to Kusal Perera, FOUR, Chameera bowled this with two close men at extra-cover, but Perera manages to pierce the gap and get it wide of the diving fielder. Hat-trick of fours

Chameera to Kusal Perera, FOUR, that's a threatening shot for the non-striker. Just missed the yorker this time, Perera muscles the drive down the ground and Gunaratne did well to duck to save his head

Chameera to Kusal Perera, FOUR,driven through cover, oh great timing. Thought sweeper wpuld get there but that raced off the bat to his left

Priyanjan to Kusal Perera, leg byes, 1 run, optimistic LBW shout again as Perera misses the flick and gets hit on the pad, again missing leg with that round the wicket angle. Points to Mathews if he thought of slowing the game down with that review

Priyanjan to Gunaratne, FOUR, now Gunaratne employs the reverse sweep, played so well between backward point and short third man

Priyanjan to Kusal Perera, SIX, Kusal Perera's Jayasuriya-esque sixes are a sight we are all longing for in this tournament isn't it! Short delivery, Perera pulls over mid-wicket and comfortably clears the rope

Udana to Kusal Perera, 1 run, mistimed pull, no one at mid-wicket but that will give Perera the fifty, The slower delivery on the shorter side, Perera went for a big pull and miscued it

Gony to Kusal Mendis, out Caught by Chandimal!! Oh brilliant grab by Chandimal and credit to Gony for surprising the batsman with a quick nip-backer. The short delivery, so Mendis thought he could try the third man route, but this one foxed him off the pitch and took the glove, Chandimal flew full length to his right to take it one-handed. Kusal Mendis c Chandimal b Gony 30(24) [4s-2 6s-2]

Aponso to Kusal Mendis, SIX, that's a bold hit from Mendis. Backed himself to clear the man at long-off and played a lofted drive than trying to muscle the ball. Top stuff. Full and in the slot, Mendis played with a straight bat and timed it so well

Aponso to Kusal Perera, 1 run, low full toss on the leg stump, Perera works it away through square leg

Gony to Kusal Mendis, SIX, Gony is not operating full steam, so you can't dish out long hops to class players like Kusal Mendis. Batsman waited on the back foot for this short ball and powered the pull shot over backward square leg

Gony to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, pulled away but it's not timed that well. Good enough to get to the fence though, after passing the fielder at mid-on to the right. Gony tried the short ball that didn't actually rise much

Qais Ahmad to Kusal Perera, FOUR, Kusal Perera goes for the reverse sweep and meets the ball on the full to send it in the gap wide of backward point. Excellent bit of pre-meditation from the left-hander

Qais Ahmad to Kusal Perera, 1 run, low full toss outside off, Perera pushes the drive wide of cover to bring up the 100-run mark for the Tuskers

Chameera to Kusal Perera, SIX, full and right in the slot outside off for Kusal Perera! He launches this straight down the ground with a dash of swagger

Qais Ahmad to Kusal Mendis, FOUR, legbreak outside off, Mendis opens the bat face and plays the cut as late as he can to send it wide of the fielder at backward point to his left

Qais Ahmad to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, out Caught by Laurie Evans!! The fun comes to an end. Gurbaz makes room on the off-side and Qais Ahmad follows him up with a googly. Gurbaz didn't have the room he wanted and hence, ended up slicing the loft high into the night sky. The fielder at cover had all the time in the world to settle under it. Rahmanullah Gurbaz c Laurie Evans b Qais Ahmad 53(22) [4s-6 6s-4]

Qais Ahmad to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, 7th T20 fifty for Rahmanullah Gurbaz! Points towards his muscles as he soaks in all the applause from his mates. A floaty full delivery just outside off and Gurbaz smacks it clean straight back over thr bowler's head

Qais Ahmad to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, Gurbaz is looking in glorious touch! Gets down on one knee and sends the flighted delivery deep into the mid-wicket stands with a slogsweep

Udana to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, digs it short and Gurbaz is up for it. Arches back a touch, opens the bat face and ramps it cleanly over short third

Udana to Kusal Perera, FOUR, a brief shuffle and Perera seems to have the picked the slower ball early, got into great position against the length ball and hoicked it away over mid-wicket with minimum fuss

Chameera to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, the batters are loving the extra pace from Chameera! Short and wide, Gurbaz throws the kitchen sink and gets yet another one-bounce boundary against his name. The fifty is up for the Tuskers

Chameera to Kusal Perera, FOUR, poor fielding effort by Evans. This was chipped over extra cover and Evans, chasing from cover, got a bit lackadaisical near the boundary fence and allowed the ball to burst through his fingers

Chameera to Kusal Perera, FOUR, it's raining boundaries in Hambantota! Perera opens the bat face to a pacy length delivery outside off and it's raced off the willow past the diving effort of backward point to his right

Mathews to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, edged and in the gap! Gurbaz gets squared up by a fullish away swinger and the thick outside edge flies in the gap between keeper and short third man

Mathews to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, errs in line and gets picked on the leg-side now! Gurbaz shuffles across and manages ample contact on the swivel-pull to send it fine past the keeper

Mathews to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, plenty of room on the off-side now and Gurbaz frees his arms to flay a 71-metre maximum over cover. Ideal pace for him to go big on the off-side and Gurbaz didn't miss out

Mathews to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, mistimed but he's placed this to perfection! A full slower delivery around off and Gurbaz smacks it straight down the ground for a one-bounce boundary

Gony to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, no stopping Rahmanullah Gurbaz this time around! Gets a full and wide one in the slot outside off and he's pumped it over the extra cover fence with disdain. Solid base and clean striking from the Afghan...

Gony to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, welcome back to competetive cricket Mr Gony says Rahmanullah Gurbaz! A full-blooded drive off the front foot, not too much of pushing forward but Gurbaz held his shape and middled the drive through extra cover

Mathews to Kusal Perera, FOUR, first boundary of the LPL and it's come from the blade of Kusal Perera! A half-volley on leg-stump and it's been helped away to the fine leg fence with a neat glance off the pads
