Colombo Stars vs Dambulla Giants, 6th Match, Lanka Premier League 2021 - HighlightsCLS vs DMG, 6th Match, Lanka Premier League 2021 - Highlights

Chameera to Karunaratne, FOUR, given runs by umpire Dharmasena, but this came right off the helmet and lobbed over the keeper's head. Was a short and quick delivery by Chameera, Karunaratne looks to take evasive action, gets beaten for pace and boounce. They think of calling the physio to have a look, probably a concussion test, but Karunaratne reckons he's fine and they continue to play on

Chameera to Najibullah, out Caught by Prasanna!! Another brilliant catch by Prasanna who runs in from short fine leg and dives forward to grab it. Was a slower one by Chameera and the batter looks to go big against the pacer. Gets deceived due to the lack of pace, and mistimes it in front of mid-wicket. Lovely inninigs though! Najibullah c Prasanna b Chameera 54(40) [4s-6 6s-2]

Chameera to Najibullah, FOUR, round the wicket angle by Chameera and he fires in a full length ball outside off, Najibullah brings his bat down in time and slices it over backward point for four runs

Chameera to Shanaka, out Caught by Prasanna!! A fantastic catch by Prasanna at short third man diving to his left. This was a full toss by Chameera and Shanaka guides it to the man inside the ring. Went for the reverse ramp, but couldn't get enough elevation to clear the fielder stationed there. Walks back to the pavilion after playing a useful cameo though. Shanaka c Prasanna b Chameera 38(25) [4s-3 6s-2]

Keemo Paul to Najibullah, 2 runs, a well compiled fifty by Najibullah! Walks up to his partner who gives him a hug and a fist bump for his effort. This was full and wide outside off, Najibullah slices it to third man for a couple of runs in order to reach the milestone

Keemo Paul to Shanaka, SIX, what a knock this is proving to be! An overpitched delivery from round the wicket, Shanaka makes room and bludgeons it over deep extra cover for a flat six

Naveen-ul-Haq to Najibullah, FOUR, smacked! A slower delivery by Naveen-ul-Haq, very full around leg and Najibullah has heaved it away to the deep mid-wicket boundary. Almost went the distance for a flat six

Chameera to Philip Salt, out Caught by Keemo Paul!! Picks the slower one and swats it towards the longer boundary at cow corner, doesn't quite carry to the fence and Keemo Paul picks this up in the shadows. That's the end of Salt, who has done more than his job but hasn't quite received the support at the other end. Philip Salt c Keemo Paul b Chameera 62(34) [4s-8 6s-2]

Chameera to Philip Salt, no run, it's been given not out, but Chameera reviews! Looked too high to the naked eye. It was a missed leg-glance, that struck the batsman on the thigh, but the replays show he jackknifed due to the lack of pace. Nothing on Ultra-Edge. Ball tracking: Impact, umpire's call, and missing the leg-stump. Not out it is.

Keemo Paul to Philip Salt, FOUR, full-toss on the pads, and that's swatted away down to fine leg for four

Keemo Paul to Dickwella, out Caught by de Silva!! That's a wicket against the run of play! Dickwella got far too ambitious and tried to slice this over the in-field, ended up lobbing it to the right of de Silva who dived to hold on to a potentially tide-changing catch. Dickwella c de Silva b Keemo Paul 17(6) [4s-4]

Keemo Paul to Dickwella, FOUR, short and wide, Dickwella backs away a little to create more width, and that's been carved away to deep backward point for four! Another misfield in the in-field, and they're leaking runs...

Keemo Paul to Dickwella, FOUR, the fifty stand comes up with a deflective lap as Dickwella gets on his knee and gets cheeky

de Silva to Dickwella, FOUR, angling into the pads, Dickwella gets on his knee and sweeps it really fine to the fence for four - good attempt to pull it in at fine leg, but the momentum is far too much

de Silva to Philip Salt, FOUR, beautiful hit! Backs into the on-side and lofts it straight down the ground for four! Far too full, but got into a great position for that shot!
