2-35 off his 10 overs on a belter of a track! Mohamed Shiraz rises up to the occasion.

Jaffna, coming off a big loss, were led by their openers in the first innings. Fakhar Zaman and Nishan Madushka batted for close to 30 overs
as Dambulla bowlers failed to be incisive. Kuldeep Yadav brought their spirits up with twin strikes as Madushka failed to reach his hundred by a single run.
Klaasen's duck made things interesting but Daryl Mitchell was unperturbed. His fantastic 54(46) gave the perfect finish to the platform laid by Zaman-Nishan.

RCD, being the top-heavy side they are, were put out of the game when their top-3 didn't contribute much. Rajitha and Shiraz were on the money.
Buttler failed to score this time and Dambulla were now in the hands of Danushka Gunathilaka. He fought his way to 86. But the required rate kept climbing
and his wicket effectively ended the run chase. Chamika and Samarakoon stayed at the crease for long but struggled to hit the boundaries.
