Lanka Premier League 2021: Angelo Mathews returned from injury to lead Colombo Stars to a much-needed 41-run victory over Galle Gladiators at the R Premadasa Stadium in a Lanka Premier League 2021 match.
Colombo Stars captain Mathews opened the innings after deciding to bat first, and helped his team record a strong total of 162/7 in the rain-shortened 18-over encounter late on Sunday. In his innings, he hit eight boundaries and three sixes. Dinesh Chandimal, who struck 36 off 14 balls, smashed four fours and two sixes, strengthened the Colombo Stars' innings.
Galle Gladiators were bowled out for 121 in 16.5 overs, with Stars pacer Naveen ul-Haq taking 3 for 27, resulting in their second loss in two days. In the chase, Kusal Mendis scored 64 runs in 39 balls, including seven fours and a six. However, he received no help from the rest of the Galle Gladiators' lineup.
Colombo Stars bowlers Seekuge Prasanna (2 for 23) and Ravi Rampaul (2 for 34) both helped with the ball as they picked up only their second win of the season.
