So Kandy go on to Qualifier 2 and Colombo go home. That ends the LPL's coverage for today. We will be back with more action. Do join us then. Till then it's goodbye and good night. Take care and sleep tight.
Wanindu Hasaranga | Kandy captain: I trust Dasun and Kamindu like always. He got runs in the first game and then did not get anything at all after that but I trust him. We all know what Dasun is capable of and he did it today. We know what he can do with the lower order and he finished a lot of games for Sri Lanka as well. Credit goes to the bowlers, they bowled really well especially with the new ball and batters finished it.
Thisara Perera | Colombo captain: I have to thank my owner Mr. Sagar, who believed in us so much. It happens in cricket, we have to expect win or loss, doesn't matter. Today we were short by 10-15 runs. Kamindu and Dasun played really good cricket and wish all the three teams good luck. It's getting better and better from the first year, thanks to LPL for the organization and hopefully we can do something special next year.
Kamindu Mendis | Player of the Match: Was a very good game, credit goes to every bowler who bowled from both teams. When I went into the middle, we were 60/5 and we looked for a partnership. Our plan was to stay positive and I still believed that we could finish the game.
23:12 Local Time, 17:42 GMT, 23:12 IST: Fantastic game and it's the Kandy Falcons who come out on top. The partnership between Kamindu Mendis and Dasun Shanaka helping them immensely. The top-order did not fire and it was left to the calm Kamindu who played a responsible innings. Shanaka came in and took the pressure off Kamindu with a couple of sixes and the asking rate was kept under control. The stand of 69 rescued Kandy who were 83/6 at one stage.
