Thisara Perera to Angelo Mathews, OUT! RUN OUT! Redemption for Thisara Perera and he has managed to take his team over the line right at the end. After getting pummeled on the last three deliveries, Perera still is brave enough to look for the yorker and this time, he nails it in the blockhole around off. Angelo Mathews cannot get under it and jams it to the left of the bowler before setting off for the single. Perera collects the ball and runs towards the stumps at the bowler's end before scoring a direct hit and Colombo Strikers win an enthralling contest by 2 runs.
