Shadab Khan to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! TAKEN! Shadab Khan gets a wicket now! This is a massive blow for Kandy Falcons but Colombo Strikers are absolutely pumped up here. This is googly, full and on middle, turns in, Wanindu Hasaranga decides to take it on and tries slog it away, but the turn in means that he fails to get under the ball, and gets more elevation than distance. It goes high up in the night sky and Muhammad Waseem at long on, keeps his eyes on it, moves to his right and takes an excellent catch under pressure. Shadab returns the favour to Hasaranga here and gives him a send-off as well.
