21:09 Local Time, 15:39 GMT, 21:09 IST: This is the highest total posted in the tournament but Colombo Strikers would still be slightly disappointed they couldn't get 10-15 runs more. They raced to 78 in the powerplay but lost their way in the middle overs as Hasaranga struck twice in one over. Thisara and Shadab added a partnership to bring the innings back on track. They even manage to score 33 from the 2 Power Blast overs but the last over just went for 8 runs and 200 was not breached. There was some turn for the spinners especially Samarawickrama's wicket but the dew has started to come in and bowling will only get harder. Kandy have the firepower to chase this down. Can Colombo become the first team to defend a total this season? Back soon with the chase..
