The Jaffna Kings bowlers were under the pump from the start as the Falcons' batters went berserk from ball one. They did not have the answers to the hitting of the Kandy batters and allowed the game to slip away.

Jaffna Kings have suffered their second loss of the season and have slipped in the points table.

Haris departed for 25 in the eighth over but Dinesh Chandimal carried on and blasted 89 runs off just 37 balls to set up the game for his side. Kamindu Mendis played a matured hand of 65 off 36 and stayed unbeaten till the end while Angelo Mathews provided the finishing touches with a quick-fire 29. Kandy Falcons have got a win after a hat-trick of losses and Wanindu Hasaranga will be a relieved skipper.
