Dwaine Pretorius to Kusal Perera, OUT! Trapped in front. On a length around the pads, Kusal Perera misses the flick and gets thumped into his front pad. A good appeal by the fielding unit and the umpire raised his finger. Kusal Perera looks surprised as he feels this would have gone high and asks for a review. The ball tracker shows the ball would have clipped the bails on the leg and it is an umpire's call. The on-field decision of out stays.

Maheesh Theekshana to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! Reeza Hendricks departs and more importantly it is a dot ball. Theekshana floats one outside off, Hendricks looks to take on Dwaine Pretorius at long off and it was in his slot. However, at the time of contact with the ball, Reeza's bat tilts in his hands and Pretorius takes a good catch under pressure. Well, we did mention that bowling a spinner at the death is risky, but the World Cup just finished a few days ago and we all saw how effective the spinners were in the last over. This game is still there to be won. A quickfire stand of 46 is broken in 32 balls. Hendricks departs after a fighting 72 (57), the Dambulla Sixers are 143/6 and need 6 from the last 3 balls!

Maheesh Theekshana to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Edged and flies away for four. No chance for Isuru Udana at short third to field this. Quicker one outside off, at 104 clicks, Mohammad Nabi swings hard and gets an outside edge racing away between the keeper and Udana. Nabi wouldn't mind the luck one bit. Is that the killer blow? 1 run needed on the final ball. Is a Super Over in store?

Maheesh Theekshana to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! RUN OUT! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THE MATCH IS TIED AND WE ARE GOING INTO A SUPER OVER! Too much drama in Colombo! This was pitched full, on off. Mohammad Nabi makes room and drills it to the man at short cover. He sets off for a single but the throw comes in quickly from Sahan Arachchige to Maheesh Theekshana who collects it clean and takes off the bails. Mohammad Nabi is not in the frame and RUN OUT is the signal on the big screen!!! The game prolongs.
