Galle Gladiators vs Dambulla Viiking, 17th Match, Lanka Premier League 2020 - HighlightsGGD vs DVK, 17th Match, Lanka Premier League 2020 - Highlights

Rajitha to Dhananjaya Lakshan, SIX, super stroke! Lakshan's go-to shot, the paddle scoop to his rescue once more. Timed the shuffle well and lobbed this onto the fine leg ropes on the full. Super shot

Shanaka to Amir, out Bowled!! Probably one of the worst ways to get out. Amir isn't a specialist bat but certainly a dependable batter and he has missed this full toss altogether. Backed away early and it was the right ball to put away. Misses it altogether. This wicket sums up the tempo of this Galle innings. Amir b Shanaka 0(3)

Shanaka to Dhananjaya Lakshan, FOUR, this is more like the perfect paddle scoop. Jayasuriya needs to note this. Lakshan doesn't reveal his cards early and goes late with the stroke choice. Was full enough and he lapped it easily over short fine leg

Rajitha to Jayasuriya, out Caught by Shinwari!! Gone this time! Another slower ball, Jayasuriya is early on the slog and miscues it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Debatable stroke, although you could argue that his runs all came in this method itself. Dambulla won't complain though. Another crucial strike. Jayasuriya c Shinwari b Rajitha 39(27) [4s-4 6s-1]

Shanaka to Jayasuriya, SIX, kaboom! Nothing streaky about this one. Times the charge well this time and clobbers this length ball all the way over deep mid-wicket

Shanaka to Jayasuriya, FOUR, streaky, very streaky! Jayasuriya went early for the paddle scoop, got no pace at all to work with and still went through with the shot. Shanaka had shortened his length a bit and this flew off the glove straight back over Dickwella

Stirling to Jayasuriya, FOUR, precious runs these for Galle! Jayasuriya used his feet again, knew Stirling would go wider, and hits this with the turn. Driven past the extra cover fielder once more. Nice little counterpunch from Jayasuriya

Stirling to Jayasuriya, FOUR, fine shot! Jayasuriya charged down and made room to unfurl a free-flowing drive. Beats the diving extra cover and long-off had no chance

Rajitha to Sahan Arachchige, out Caught by Tharanga!! The rub of the green continues for Dambulla. They got Gunathilaka with an absolutely shoddy ball and it's Arachchige turn this time. Half volley on the pads, he played a lovely pick up shot too, except that the placement was wrong. Straight down fine leg's throat. Just what Galle didn't want. Sahan Arachchige c Tharanga b Rajitha 9(10) [4s-1]

Samit Patel to Sahan Arachchige, FOUR, a bit of width on offer and Arachchige guides it off the back foot. Open face and Tyagi is very slow at short third man. No way he was chasing this down

Samit Patel to Walton, 2 runs, flatter one on middle and leg, Walton places the back foot punch to the right of long-on and it's an easy brace

Shanaka to Jayasuriya, FOUR, cracking shot! Jayasuriya is off and running instantly. Short and wide, gift from Shanaka and it's spanked through the covers

Shanaka to Gunathilaka, out Caught by Dickwella!! Dambulla are storming back in this contest. The big fish, Gunathilaka has been snared. Not a wicket-taking ball at all, short and too wide, but he manages to get a tiny feather on the cut. Easy take for Dickwella and all of a sudden, Dambulla are bossing this contest big time. It seems like a free-fall for Galle at the moment. Gunathilaka c Dickwella b Shanaka 46(31) [4s-8]

Ramesh Mendis to Azam Khan, out Lbw!! 2 in 2 for Mendis and Dambulla! Exceptional stuff from the off-spinner and he has effectively neutralized that blistering platform Galle have gotten. Sends the in-form Khan for a first-ball duck. Floaty off break on off, traditional offie stuff and the turn does Khan in. His feet didn't move much and got rapped on the front pad. Seemed plumb in real time itself and Dambulla are quick to review it. No bat and although it spun a bit, it's still Three Reds on HawkEye. Azam Khan lbw b Ramesh Mendis 0(1)

Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, out Caught by Shanaka!! Huge strike from Mendis! Dambulla needed this as the two left-handers were going berserk. This was looped up nicely on off, Rajapaksa backed away for the inside out loft but couldn't get it over the infield. Still hit it hard and Shanaka at extra cover had to move around swiftly to pouch it. He does, and sends his opposite number back to the hut. Rajapaksa c Shanaka b Ramesh Mendis 31(18) [4s-2 6s-3]

Shanaka to Gunathilaka, 2 runs, low full toss on the pads, whipped away to the left of long-on who puts in a sliding stop to cut off the boundary

Shanaka to Gunathilaka, FOUR, very poor ball and Shanaka knew it as soon as he bowled it. On the pads, Gunathilaka tickled it very fine, giving no chance to short fine leg

Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, SIX, Rajapaksa is having fun out there! Getting boundaries at will. This was fuller and straighter, Rajapaksa stays still on this occasion and launches it dead straight down the ground. Clears the ropes

Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, FOUR, Rajapaksa found his form last game and is now showing the kind of threat he can be! Charges down early, not quite to the pitch but his wrists and bottom hand take over. Repeats that chip over mid-wicket. Not all the way this time but a boundary nevertheless. Galle are rocketing here

Dilshan Madushanka to Gunathilaka, FOUR, Gunathilaka loves these dinks, paddles and reverse-paddles, and this time it's the conventional scoop. Shuffled across very early and got enough to clear short fine leg. Poor Madushanka is getting ripped apart here

Dilshan Madushanka to Rajapaksa, SIX, what a shot! Fuller and straighter, slower ball and Rajapaksa just uses his super-quick hands to wrist this over wide long-on. Seemed like a gentle chip but it's gone all the way

Dilshan Madushanka to Gunathilaka, 1 run, goes shorter and rushes Gunathilaka on the pull, mistimed past mid-wicket

Dilshan Madushanka to Gunathilaka, FOUR, belted, absolutely belted! Gunathilaka charges down, gets the fuller length he wants, and tonks this between extra cover and mid-off. Nobody budged at all

Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, FOUR, why would you dart the ball when you are getting spin by bowling slower? Mendis fires this outside off, a bit short and Rajapaksa slaps it past backward point. Too easy

Ramesh Mendis to Rajapaksa, SIX, good batting from Rajapaksa! Saw the turn on offer and decided that Mendis can't be allowed to settle. Fuller and on off, slog swept over deep backward square leg. Clean strike!

Dilshan Madushanka to Ahsan Ali, out Lbw!! Lovely bowling! After starting with a few real looseners, Madushanka produces the classic left-arm pacer's delivery. Inswinger, middle and off line, and Ali is clearly late to get his bat down. Didn't account for the movement and once he got struck on the front pad, it was a very easy call for the ump. Looked plumn and Ahsan rightly doesn't review it. Ahsan Ali lbw b Dilshan Madushanka 1(3)

Dilshan Madushanka to Ahsan Ali, leg byes, FOUR, too many on the pads already and they’ve all been punished badly. Ahsan did miss the flick but deflected it off the pads very fine down the leg side

Rajitha to Gunathilaka, FOUR, this is disastrous fielding! Tyagi at third man doesn't even bother trying a dive and this goes past him to the fence. Not that he could have stopped it entirely but surely could have prevented a boundary. Slower ball, grips a bit off the deck as Gunathilaka opens the face to steer it

Rajitha to Gunathilaka, FOUR, this time very fine and fine leg is beaten to his left this time! Dambulla have started horribly with the new ball. Another freebie on the pads, Gunathilaka gets inside the line and tickles it away gently

Rajitha to Gunathilaka, FOUR, the gifts continue to come for Gunathilaka and he is feasting on them. On the pads, he shuffles across and glances it sweetly. Right between fine leg and deep square leg

Tyagi to Gunathilaka, FOUR, too wide and although it's a stacked field set behind square in the ring, Gunathilaka threads the gap. Sliced off the back foot

Tyagi to Gunathilaka, FOUR, smack! Throwdown stuff from Tyagi, especially to an in-form player like Gunathilaka. Short and wide, he climbs into the punchy drive. Slapped through the gap at cover
