Theekshana was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3/26. Kavindu Nadeeshan, Sahan Arachchige and Dwaine Pretorius took one wicket each. Nabi scored a boundary with 5 needed of the last two balls. But he was run out on the last ball and the match went into a Super Over.

Player of the Match- Maheesh Theekshana
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."
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."

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."
