Time to conclude our coverage from this match. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh and our scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal.
Niroshan Dickwella(Galle Marvels Captain): "I want to thank god for this win. We were always in the game. In the second time-out we thought a good wicket or a run out will change. Our bowlers chipped in at the right time.
Due credit to Alex Hales. The way he started was great and because of that we reached 148 and I believe we were 10 runs short but that's okay."

Mohammad Nabi (Dambulla Sixers Captain): "Yeah, it is a good game of cricket. We try our best but cricket is a funny game. We threw the wicket away in the last over. For new batter, it was tough to hit from the word go.
We will try to win rest of our games and look to qualify."

Maheesh Theekshana(Player of the Match): "I think it's all about experience. I have played a lot of games and I know this game well. I knew this wicket had little bit for the spinners. Hitting the deck would have been a good option here and I did that."
