Brilliant recovery from Colombo after being dealt two early blows by Jaffna pacers.
Anrich Nortje struck as early as the 2nd ball of the match and then Liyanage
dismissed Dickwella in the next over.

Another fifty for Harry Tector. His partnership with Kamindu Mendis has put brakes on Jaffna's plans.
While Tector has been the aggressor and the major run-scorer, Mendis is playing more of a holding role.

Kasun Rajitha has only bowled 2 overs so far but conceded 17 runs.
How Samarawickrama rotates his bowlers will be key.

A hundred in the final. Harry Tector, take a bow!
Colombo's middle-order has really put the Jaffna bowling attack fall flat.

Chris Greaves took out Kamindu for 37 but Bas de Leede only double down on what
Kamindu had to offer. Both have been striking the ball left and right.

Jaffna are in a huge spot of bother here.
Will there hopes of a trophy end so soon?

Flurry of wickets puts Jaffna back on track. All capable batters are now dismissed.
Janith Liyanage took the prized wicket of Tector for 110 and then Colombo batters
fell like a pack of cards. Anrich Nortje picked the opposing captain Dhananjaya
and the half-centurion Bas de Leede.

Final 10 overs and Colombo have already made 251. But a lack of batting
options could mean a lacklustre finish.

TARGET - JAFFNA NEED 262 RUNS FROM 50.0 OVERS @ 5.24 RUNS PER OVER


2022_7image_23_40_475058358harrytector.jpg

Brilliant bowling from Jaffna towards the end. They didn't let Colombo's tailenders make any runs.
Theekshana and Rajitha took care of the lower-order after Nortje and Liyanage did the hard work
and dismissed the well-set batters of Colombo.

Harry Tector had a day to remember. He played a sensational knock which included 11 fours and 5 sixes.
Really held his team's innings together. He was involved two massive partnerships with Kamindu Mendis
and Bas de Leede. de Leede made a fifty while Mendis scored 37.

The wicket does seem like a belter so Colombo might be 20-30 runs short here.
But they have a solid bowling attack capable of defending any target.
Jaffna's top-order vs Colombo pacers is going to be a crucial battle.


@mohsin7827 || @pillowprocter
 
We did well with the bowl to restrict them under 270 after starting perfectly but can not capitalize on that and break those two partnership early.
Our batsmen need to take a chapter out of Harry Tector books today to chase it down, similarly minimize the impact early in the inning

Another fifty for Harry Tector. His partnership with Kamindu Mendis has put brakes on Jaffna's plans.
While Tector has been the aggressor and the major run-scorer, Mendis is playing more of a holding role.

Kasun Rajitha has only bowled 2 overs so far but conceded 17 runs.
How Samarawickrama rotates his bowlers will be key.

A hundred in the final. Harry Tector, take a bow!
Colombo's middle-order has really put the Jaffna bowling attack fall flat.

Chris Greaves took out Kamindu for 37 but Bas de Leede only double down on what
Kamindu had to offer. Both have been striking the ball left and right.

Jaffna are in a huge spot of bother here.
Will there hopes of a trophy end so soon?

Flurry of wickets puts Jaffna back on track. All capable batters are now dismissed.
Janith Liyanage took the prized wicket of Tector for 110 and then Colombo batters
fell like a pack of cards. Anrich Nortje picked the opposing captain Dhananjaya
and the half-centurion Bas de Leede.

Final 10 overs and Colombo have already made 251. But a lack of batting
options could mean a lacklustre finish.

TARGET - JAFFNA NEED 262 RUNS FROM 50.0 OVERS @ 5.24 RUNS PER OVER


2022_7image_23_40_475058358harrytector.jpg

Brilliant bowling from Jaffna towards the end. They didn't let Colombo's tailenders make any runs.
Theekshana and Rajitha took care of the lower-order after Nortje and Liyanage did the hard work
and dismissed the well-set batters of Colombo.

Harry Tector had a day to remember. He played a sensational knock which included 11 fours and 5 sixes.
Really held his team's innings together. He was involved two massive partnerships with Kamindu Mendis
and Bas de Leede. de Leede made a fifty while Mendis scored 37.

The wicket does seem like a belter so Colombo might be 20-30 runs short here.
But they have a solid bowling attack capable of defending any target.
Jaffna's top-order vs Colombo pacers is going to be a crucial battle.

This is why Dhananjaya de Silva persisted with him.
Shaheen Afridi delivers Jaffna a huge blow
as their skipper goes out for well-made 78.

Ramesh Mendis also took his second wicket of the game
in the form of Brandon McMullen.

Farooqi has picked the worst time to be bowling pies. Colombo will be
disappointed with him. Shaheen Afridi is done for today.

One over of Ramesh Mendis remains and then Colombo's other bowlers
need to deliver. Jaffna is in the driver's seat.

Jaffna need 41 runs in 42 deliveries!

Excellent over from Bas de Leede after Farooqi continued to have a bad day.
Required has gone above 6 for the first time today. Colombo have done a great job
in not allowing the two batters to find easy runs.

Jaffna need 33 runs in 30 deliveries!


Code:
45.1  Farooqi to Liyanage, SIX, ???!!! Its coming towards the commentary box Im leaving!!!
45.2  Farooqi to Liyanage, FOUR, Fazalhaq Farooqi cant belive it
Janith-Liyanage-RCC-1024x683.jpg

It was always on the cards and you would have expected Heinrich Klaasen to deal those
boundaries but Janith Liyanage has delivered today. These two hits have
put this game into Jaffna's basket more or less.

Guess I don't need to tell who the bowler is.
Can Colombo repeat another miracle
like the semi-final?

Jaffna need 23 runs in 28 deliveries!

Heinrich Klaasen has to depart! He will be disappointed but he hung in there as long
as he could. Farooqi finally gets to do something in the game.

This game is not done yet. Chris Greaves is in the middle.
One more wicket and Colombo will be into the tail.

Jaffna need 21 runs in 24 deliveries!

Mendis tries hard but Liyanage is a man on a mission.
He is done with his bowling as well.

Captain Dhananjaya de Silva has decided to bowl the 48th over.
Golden arm to strike again?

Jaffna Super Kings win the inaugural Emerald Cricket League!!!

Jaffna featured the least number of players (14) in the tournament which speaks about how
good their main XI was and how rarely they needed to make changes.

Sean Williams would be bittersweet as he didn't get to feature in either the final or the qualifier despite
being one of the best batter of his team in the season. Samarawickrama started poorly but picked his form
in the latter half to end with close to 600 runs. Heinrich Klaasen was arguably their best batter with an
average above 50 and just lost to Fakhar Zaman by 2 runs to be his team's top-scorer.

In the bowling front, Kasun Rajitha led from the front with 25 wickets at an average under 23.
Anrich Nortje's bowling tapered off towards the end but he still managed to take 24 wickets along with
Maheesh Theekshana, whose case was the opposite of Nortje. Chris Greaves came in as a replacement
for Wellalage and really showed what Jaffna were missing out on with his leg-spin.

Brandon McMullen couldn't make the impact with the bat one would have expected but
his overall all-round performance was top-notch. Janith Liyanage was the star in the final
and had useful contributions in both facets across the tournament.

Comprehensive wins in both knockout games was a clear indicator of how professional
Jaffna were in their approach throughout the competition.


Code:
COLOMBO CACKLING COOKIES   261       45.2 overs
JAFFNA SUPER KINGS         264/6     48.4 overs
 
Jaffna Super Kings won by 4 wickets
 
Man of the match: Janith Liyanage (Jaffna)

Thank you @Paranoid Kendroid Beautifully put could not wish to add more :Cheersmate:
Really like the league. From auction to main event.
The auction was difficult due to the unknown talent pool and being against all best in the business. The late night rounds.

Adding associate player really make this leauge something new with your in between twists. And exploiting the associate rule added another flavor to it.

Commissaries to @pillowprocter you were fun:Claping:

Usually I makes a lot of changes in the lineups but decided to go Super Kings route persisting with the same XI, league being long and players performing helps.
 
So, this time instead of me making a team of the tournament, I am going to let the managers decide it.
Basically, each team managers can post their own version of Team of the Tournament and either post it here or personally message me.
And then all the common players will be drafted into the final version. How's the idea?

I will post the top batting and bowling charts later on

I was as impartial as one can be. Also kept the lineup rules in mind while making this. Without having to adhere to them, players like Tector and Conway make it into the eleven in place of their local counterparts.
