On that note it's a wrap from us. The play moves from Kandy to Dambulla now, with the action returning on Friday. So be sure to join us then, but for now this is Madushka signing out!
Niroshan Dickwella: "Another outing, another win. I'm glad I could score some runs as well, but upset that I threw my wicket away at that stage. I just wanted to go and express myself. Alex Hales is still getting used to these wickets, so I just wanted to take some more responsibility myself."
Thisara Perera: "It happens in cricket, it was a bad day. We can take some positives and flush out the negatives. I don't want to blame anyone, the team is like a family. I think we can do much better in the next match."
Player of the Match goes to Isuru Udana: "First of all I would like to give my Player of the Match award to Sahan Arachchige. It will give him so much confidence, I feel. To be honest, when we 94 for 6, Sahan was like to just stay around and rotate the strike. But when Glenn Phillips came into the attack, I said it would be hard to attack Shadab so we should take this chance."
Time for the post-match presentation...
11.11pm There were eyebrows raised at Isuru Udana's hefty price tag, but he went a long way to justifying that tonight - first with a critical 34-ball 52 to revive his side's ailing innings, and then with the ball bowling some crunch overs at the death to secure victory, ending with figures of 2 for 34. Colombo started the chase well with Gurbaz's early cameo, but Galle kept things tight through the middle overs leaving Colombo with too much to do at the death. Sahan Arachchige, who aided Udana with the bat, also shone with the ball sneaking through four overs for 21 runs and two wickets.
DN Wellalage c Seifert b Udana 45 (26b 5x4 2x6) SR: 173.07
Udana just needs to keep this legal
Wellalage needs at least two sixes now.
Binura is the new bat, but Wellalage is on strike. 16 needed from 6.
