Kandy Falcons prevailed by 109 runs over Colombo Stars in Match 2 of the Lanka Premier League 2022 on Tuesday at Hambantota.
Falcons post a strong total on the board
The decision of Stars of bowling first certainly backfired as they faced the powerhouse of talent in Andre Fletcher and Pathum Nissanka. The opening duo of Falcons provided a blazing start to the team with their extravagant display of ball-striking abilities.
Nissanka and Fletcher secured boundaries in almost every over and steered the team at a lavish rate. The duo added 156 runs for the first wicket, before Nissanka (71 off 41) was dismissed by Seekkuge Prasanna in the 16th over.
Fletcher continued his strong showing to remain unbeaten on 102 off 67 balls, while Carlos Brathwaite hit 20* off 13, which paved way for Falcons to post 199 on the board.
