End of over. Over 20. 2 runs. Bowler: Matheesha Pathirana. Dambulla Sixers: 123/10(rr 6.15)

Wicket. OUT! Caught & Bowled. Matheesha Pathirana to Akila Dananjaya. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled back to bowler, caught by Pathiranage. That brings us to the end of the first innings. Dambulla Sixers have managed to post a decent target on the board. Mohammad Nabi played responsibly for his 40 runs, but the rest could not get going from the other end for the Sixers. Binura Fernando is the stand-out bowler for Colombo Strikers by, picking up three wickets, well supported by Matheesha Pathirana, Dunith Wellalage & the rest. Can the Sixers defend Colombo Strikers for 47 runs to seal their spot in the playoffs, or are the Strikers about to cruise through the chase? Let's catch the second innings shortly.
