Jaffna Kings claimed a comfortable 16-run win over Galle Gladiators in their Lanka Premier League 2022 fixture carried out at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, yesterday.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Jaffna made a commanding total of 170 for the loss of eight wickets. Afif Hossain starred with the bat, scoring a 35-ball 54, while skipper Thisara Perera made 26 (13). For Galle, Wahab Riaz took three wickets for 37, while Nuwan Thushara chipped in with two.
Galle got off to a shaky start, losing two wickets in the second over. Skipper Kusal Mendis, however, had other plans as he staged a comeback, making a 45-ball 58, but with a lack of partners, he failed in his quest. Galle only managed 154/9 at the end of their allocated 20 overs. Binura Fernando was the pick of the bowlers for Jaffna with 3/20, while James Fuller and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth picked up two wickets each.
With the win, Jaffna has secured the second spot with 10 points, behind table-toppers Kandy Falcons. Galle sits at fourth with four points.
