That's it for this game, everyone, we hope that you enjoyed this live coverage. It's a double-header Monday today at the LPL. So do switch tabs and follow the second game of the day between B-Love Kandy and Colombo Strikers which starts in under 30 minutes. For now, on behalf of Deepak Prakash, and Zeeshan Naiyer, this is Navjeevan Rajput signing off.
Dasun Shanaka (Galle Titans Captain): "Yea, of course, it was great how we played today, every department was good. Not happy that the game went into the super over but we did well in the end. Our bowling is our strength, and our batters need to be top-notch to match with them."
Kusal Mendis (Dambulla AURA Captain): "I think it was a very good game and we learned a few things from this game and try to improve in the next game. We gave away too many loose runs in the last three overs."
Player of the match: Dasun Shanaka
18:50 IST & Local Time: Galle Titans win in the super-over.
That turned out to be a thriller of a contest. Aura were hammered around at the backend earlier on by Shanaka, and chasing a record target, they had a shaky start at the top as their openers were sent back to the hut early. Later, De Silva and Perera came together to rebuild the innings for Aura. They stitched a 76-run partnership for the third wicket and were looking well in control.
But the duo was dismissed in quick time, and Aura were slowed down for a bit. However, Ross (39*) found the ropes at the backend, and with decent contribution from the lower-order, he was able to get this game into a super over.
With the ball, skipper Shanaka led the way once again for the Titans as he was the leading wicket-taker registering 3/27 bowling his four overs. Apart from him, Rajitha got a couple of wickets. Rajitha had 16 runs to defend in the final over but leaked 15 runs in it, and the game was dragged into the super over. But Rajitha was asked to bowl the super over, and he delivered this time leaking just 9 runs. In the end, Rajapaksa batting in the super over for the Titans got them across the line with four balls to spare.
There it is, Bhanuka Rajapaksa finishes things in just 2 balls. Galle Titans win the match in the super over and start their campaign on a high note.
