Galle Gladiators vs Colombo Kings, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, LPL saw Afridi special yesterday and Russell Muscle show today. The fans couldn't have wished for anything more. This has been a fun league so far. And credit to the groundsmen for working overtime and dilligently to get their acts together and provide us with a five over game. Expect some more as the caravan moves on at the LPL. For today, we will leave you with memories of a Andre Russell tearing apart the Galle team. Tadaa!

Andre Russell: When you are batting in a five over game, you just see the ball and hit the ball. I think it is all about the bat speed. The base and everything comes together. I was struggling with the timing for the last two months and I mishit most of them today as well. But am grateful to the edges. Shows that if you swing hard even mishits clear the rope. I was worried about my front leg and a clear head. I am happy it came off today.

Angelo Mathews: Today it was all about the Russell show. He just took the game away from them. I just asked him to go and have a big smack. If a guy like that bats well, that's it. Cricket is a funny old game. We need to take every game seriously. T20 is a funny game.

Shahid Afridi: I wasn't expecting a result like this. We have some good cricketers as well. It was his (Russell) show today. We all know he is a very big hitter. It was a chance that I took asking Amir to bowl again because it was tough for the spinners thanks to the wet ball. Credit to Russell.

00:04 Local Time, 18:34 GMT, 00:04 IST: Galle have been Russelled! They have been annihilated. The 19-ball knock just killed it off. He came he saw he conquered. And once that happened. The chase never had any momentum. It was only a matter of five overs of formality because of the mountain of runs that Galle had to chase. Even Afridi's pyrotechnics failed. They never ever threatened to chase it down.
