    Rajitha to Nawaz
    No way! Slams it away for a four! Colombo Strikers have won this cliffhanger! A touch too full and he sits deep in his crease, slugs it away past deep midwicket and punches the air in delight! Nawaz has played a blinder and the entire team is filled with joy!
    19.4
    6
    Rajitha to Nawaz
    HEAVED IT FOR A SIX! Oh my goodness, are you kidding me? He dishes out a rank full toss on off and he just got enough to clear the sweeper cover fielder. 4 off 2!
    19.3
    2
    Rajitha to Nawaz
    Pummeled away to mid-off who fumbles and they scamper back for the second run. Will it be another Super Over? 10 off 3. Which way are the scales going to tip?
    19.2
    2
    Rajitha to Nawaz
    Spears in on a full-length just outside off, carved away to deep cover and the couple hustles and bustles for a couple of runs
    19.1
    W
    Rajitha to Babar Azam
    Holes out to long-off! Bit of an anticlimactic end to an otherwise superb knock! Tossed up fuller outside off, just couldn't get underneath it, got toe-end of the bat and Strikers are in deep trouble now. Set batter is back in the hut
    18.6
    0
    Ngarava to C Karunaratne
    In the blockhole on off stump, tries to scythe that away past backward point, late in jamming his bat down and that's a precious dot!
    18.5
    1
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Fuller length around off, pushed towards long-off for a run
    18.4

    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Wow, just brilliant! Babar Azam gets to his hundred, that has been a sublime century as he flicks this leg-side delivery past backward square. Take a bow, it has been an authoritative, well-paced and a brave century. It will be perfect for him and Strikers if he gets them over the line
    18.3
    1
    Ngarava to C Karunaratne
    Chipped in the air and falls short of man at cover! That was slammed into the pitch and he got enough purchase, ugly hoick across the line and nearly lose his wicket
    18.2
    1
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Sits deep in his crease and clonks it off the backfoot to deep midwicket. Is there going to be a twist in the tale?
    18.1
    0
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Well-disguised slower shorter delivery in the channel, went for the late cut but only grabs fresh air
    17.6
    1
    Shamsi to Babar Azam
    Oh that's a lovely legbreak fuller on off, he patiently maneuvers the ball into the covers and wants to keep the strike
    17.5
    1
    Shamsi to C Karunaratne
    Flighted delivery on middle, mows it downtown and long-on runs across to collect it on one bounce
    17.4
    W
    Shamsi to Nuwanidu Fernando
    Holes out to long-on! He was looking to loft it straight down, but mistimes it straight to Shanaka in the deep, who makes no mistake. Lofts it straighter than he wanted to and couldn't get underneath it
    17.3
    0
    Shamsi to Nuwanidu Fernando
    That's a lovely googly on a length and it spins away viciously outside off, stays back and tries to muscle it over midwicket, beaten by the turn and bounce
    17.2
    0
    Shamsi to Nuwanidu Fernando
    Was getting into shape for a massive slog sweep but ends up wearing it on his pads
    17.1
    1
    Shamsi to Babar Azam
    Turns it round the corner for a run
    16.6
    1
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Firmly rooted on the backfoot and clonked away into the empty spaces at deep midwicket
    16.5
    2
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Another sloppy bit of work in the deep, blasted away to long-off and Shamsi is a bit late in his reaction and the ball skittles away from him
    16.4
    4
    Ngarava to Babar Azam
    Another one shelled! A touch short and angling across off, he threw the kitchen sink at it, gets the toe-end of the bat and short third jumped, got his fingers on it but then parried it away into the deep
