(Sikandar Raza couldn't believe he got dismissed)
Is this the final nail in the coffin for The Alliance?

Kamil Mishara got out for 32 after chopping his stumps off a Shaheen Afridi half-tracker.
Scott Edwards had a terrible strugle as he managed to score just 9 runs off
26 balls before dishing one straight to Dhananjaya de Silva.

But the worst of all was The Alliance's ace, Raza, being dismissed against the run of play
by Sonal Dinusha for 34. He was looking to flick a straight one but it caught the edge and went
straight to keeper Quinton de Kock who didn't miss his chance.
Even a total of 200 is looking unlikely now.

Mark Watt and Lakshitha Manasinghe trying to get their team to a respectable total and almost

TARGET - COLOMBO NEED 217 RUNS FROM 50.0 OVERS @ 4.34 RUNS PER OVER

Youngster Sonal Dinusha led the bowling charts for Colombo with a 4-fer as he dismantled
The Alliance's batting along with his comrades. Shaheen Afridi was also on key as he picked 3 scalps.

Plenty Alliance batters got starts but none of them were able to convert it. In the end, their tail wagged
enough to take them to 216. Their bowling isn't known for defending small totals but today they need to
play out of their skins if they are to beat Colombo to the Qualifier 2 spot.

Really annoying how we couldn't finish them off. But it's good we never let the middle order batters settle, I back us to chase this down.

istg if we fall short because of an Asanka Manoj batting performance
 
I know the league is almost over, but I just saw this: why is Moratuwa's home ground in Kandy, while Jaffna's home ground is in Colombo?

I gave the option of choosing any homeground during signups, remember? Now, why these two picked stadiums not in the home state is something only the managers can tell. Mabye both Pallekele and R.Premadasa are iconic Sri Lankan cricket stadiums and don't know if there are any decent grounds in Moratuwa and Jaffna.
