Shanaka and Brook have been the shits so far. Was really hoping that Brook could provide more stability in the middle-order, but he really hasn't been able to. Also, with the way things have gone for us so far, a captaincy change also seems in order. Chandimal to lead the side from now, while Cummins makes room for Naseem.​

Kuldeep Yadav weaves his chinaman magic as Dambulla register another win.
Dakunu's win from last game didn't really change the momentum as they suffer their 5th loss in 6 games.

RCD won the crucial toss and sent the home side to bat first.
Pavan Rathnayake and KL Rahul were the only batters who looked comfortable.
Kuldeep Yadav and Chamika Karunaratne ran riot and shared 9 wickets between them.

Dambulla were never in complete control but their batters made useful stands, especially the top-order.
Head, Nissanka and Karunaratne all got useful scores but it was Gunathilaka who gave life to the run chase.
Vandersay battled hard but Ramesh Mendis's poor form didn't help the matter.
