Wanindu Hasaranga(B-Love Kandy Captain):- "You know Jaffna is a champion team and we did it really well today. Chameera was injured and later Udana got injured too. So I bowled Mujeeb and did my job. Every day I stick to my basics and try to bowl to the stumps. Wrong'un has been a weapon for me and I got many wickets with that in the recent past. We played a lot of back to back games. I hope the schedule will be a bit longer next time."
Thisara Perera (Jaffna Kings Captain): "No, actually not that case. It was a bad day. The batters let us down. Proud of the boys we have won three titles in a row and now we have failed it happens. Hope to come back next season. I am proud of the boys. Yes, we played as a batting unit and the extra batter but did not click as a unit. I thank the owners for supporting us and hope to bounce back next season. This season, it was not memorable. We were not consistent enough to play well and we bow out of the competition with our heads held high."
Wanindu Hasaranga is awarded the Player of the Match and he receives the Orange cap for being the highest wicket taker.
11:07 PM IST and Local Time: Time for the presentation ceremony.
23:01 IST and Local Time | A captain's knock is a very popular term in cricket but today we must name it as 'Captain's Spell' for Wanindu Hasaranga. He bowled one of the finest spells in the Lanka Premier League for his 3.2-0-9-6.
Chasing 188, Jaffna lost Charith Asalanka cheaply. Then Chris Lynn and Rahmanullah Gurbaz were playing nicely. But a miscommunication between them cost Gurbaz's wicket. Then it came down to Wanindu Hasaranga who removed Chris Lynn and Dunith Wellalage in his first over to make Jaffna 49-4. It was Shoaib Malik and David Miller who showed some resistance for their 31 and 26 respectively but it was nothing in front of the Hasaranga excellence. From 101-4, Jaffna bundled out to 127 and ended up losing the game by 61 runs.
Earlier batting first, Mohammad Haris played a fabulous hand of 79 to ensure his team post a good total. He was well partnered by Dinesh Chandimal in the middle. For Jaffna Kings, Nuwan Thushara picked up 4 wickets for 40 runs.
B-Love Kandy are off to the qualifier 2 winning the eliminator today and will face Galle Titans.

17.2 W Hasaranga to N Thushara
W Kandy wins the game!!!! 6-wickets for Hasaranga!!!! This has been a striking performance from Hasaranga & team. Bravo! Thushara pulls back and hits it hard, but it goes down to the mid-wicket fielder for a sitter.
They are looking at the fair catch here. Replays confirm it is a fair catch and Hasaranga gets 5.
17.1 W Hasaranga to M Theekshana
W That's the ninth wicket! Hasaranga gets his fifer! Tossed up full, in the middle. Theekshana had no other option to go hard at it and ended up getting a leading edge to the point area where the fielder gave an excellent dive to grab the stunner.

16.6 N Pradeep to D Madushanka
0 Dot ball to end the over. Length ball, outside off. Madushanka misses it.
16.5 N Pradeep to S Malik
W That's the final nail in the coffin! Malik was bowled on length, way outside off and he was not even close to the ball when he threw his hands at it. The ball lobbed to the extra cover where the fielder took a simple catch.
16.4 N Pradeep to S Malik
0 Full, outside off. Malik can only dig this to the point fielder for no run. Free-hit wasted.
16.4 N Pradeep to S Malik
NB No ball! Malik bowled the length ball, on leg stump which was tickled to short fine leg fielder. He made a big overstep.
