LPL 2024: Colombo Strikers Triumph Over Kandy Falcons In Opening Game By 51 Runs
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Colombo Strikers started their Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 campaign with a commanding 51-run victory over the Kandy Falcons at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing a challenging target of 199, the Falcons were bowled out for 147 in just 15.5 overs.
Despite a promising start from Dinesh Chandimal (38 off 26) and Andre Fletcher (24 off 12), the Falcons lost momentum after losing two quick wickets during the Power-play, with Fletcher and Mohammad Haris (4 off 3) returning to the dugout early.
Chandimal’s dismissal by Glenn Phillips in the 8th over further dented the Falcons' hopes. Kamindu Mendis (7 off 11) followed soon after, but a resilient 60-run partnership between Angelo Mathews (25 off 20) and Wanindu Hasaranga (25 off 14) kept Kandy Falcons in the hunt.
