Match Highlights
Jaffna Kings won the toss and elected to field at Dambulla under lights, looking to use early conditions against Gallants’ top order. The plan showed early dividends, Sam Harper was bowled for 3 in the second over, but Chris Lynn refused to be contained, smashing 46 off 22 deliveries with three fours and four sixes before departing to Lizaad Williams at 64/3 in the seventh over.
The powerplay ended with Gallants on 45/2, a reasonable platform built largely on Lynn’s aggression. Charith Asalanka (6) and Chamika Karunaratne (9) both fell cheaply in the aftermath, and with 65/4 on the board heading into the middle overs, Gallants needed someone to take ownership of the innings. Dasun Shanaka added 12 off 10 but could not hold on.
Sahan Arachchige provided exactly what the innings needed. Coming in during a period of uncertainty, he rotated strike cleanly through the middle and began to accelerate once the field spread. He reached his half-century off 30 balls, having already hit four fours and two sixes. Dinura Kalupahana chipped in with 10 before departing in the 14th over, leaving the score at 110/6 with six overs remaining.
The match turned decisively in Gallants’ favour through the seventh-wicket stand between Arachchige and Mohammad Nawaz. The pair added 50 runs in just 21 balls, Nawaz striking 27 off 16 with two fours and two sixes, before Nawaz fell in the 19th over. Arachchige was run out off the final delivery of the innings for 63 off 36 (4 fours, 3 sixes), and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth struck a boundary from the last ball to take Gallants to 193/8. Traveen Mathew was the most expensive Kings bowler, conceding 54 off three overs without a wicket.
Jaffna’s chase unravelled inside the powerplay. Avishka Fernando fell in the first over for 6, and Kamil Mishara’s 15 off 8 gave brief hope before Tharindu Ratnayake removed him in the third over. Shakib Al Hasan was then bowled by Ratnayake off the very next ball, a double strike that left Kings at 24/3 in 2.3 overs. Bhanuka Rajapaksa attempted a counter with 8 off 4 before miscuing to Viyaskanth off Akif Javed. The powerplay closed at 50/4, a total that made the target effectively unachievable.
Eshan Malinga, introduced as an impact substitute, made an immediate impact in the middle overs. He claimed 3/13 in three overs, dismissing Ibrahim Zadran (11), Chamindu Wickramasinghe (6), and Traveen Mathew (0) in rapid succession. When Mathew was bowled in the 12th over, Kings stood at 99/8 with 95 still needed from 48 balls.
Dunith Wellalage resisted with 56 off 39, four fours and four sixes, and gave the scorecard a degree of respectability, but the match was long decided. He was the last wicket to fall, dismissed in the 17.5th over, as Kings were bowled out for 133. Lizaad Williams did not take the field due to injury, further thinning Kings’ resources in the chase.
Tharindu Ratnayake (3/19) and Malinga (3/13) shared six wickets between them at minimal cost. Akif Javed (1/22) was equally controlled, and Shanaka’s early breakthrough set the tone. The 60-run win confirms Gallants as the form side in LPL 2026, while Kings must address an alarming top-order fragility and the fitness of their senior bowlers heading forward.
Toss Winner
Jaffna Kings won the toss and elected to field first at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium.
Key Moment
Tharindu Ratnayake’s back-to-back dismissals of Kamil Mishara and Shakib Al Hasan off consecutive balls in the third over, reducing Kings to 24/3, was the decisive moment. That double strike buried any realistic hope of a chase and exposed a fragile middle order that could never recover.

Sahan Arachchige
Sahan Arachchige (63 off 36, SR: 175.00) is the Player of the Match, his knock steadied Gallants at 65/4, and his 50-run seventh-wicket stand with Nawaz in 21 balls powered the total from 110/6 to 193/8, the margin that settled the match.
