17:21 Local Time, 11:51 GMT, 17:21 IST: A superb batting effort from Kandy and that has given them a great chance to not just win this match, but to put the Sixers in immense pressure going into the final game. Almost everyone chipped in, but it was Andre Fletcher and Kamindu Mendis who really pushed the scoring rate. Both made quickfire half-centuries, Haris and Hasaranga chipped in with useful cameos and Angelo Mathews finished it off in some style. 223 will take a lot of doing for the Sixers and they'll have to contend with quality spin on a wicket which is helping the slower bowlers. In the context of the rout, Dushan Hemantha finished with 3 for 14, absolute gold-dust. Can the Sixers do better with the ball? Back shortly for the chase..
