Colombo Stars won the toss and put Jaffna Kings in to bat, which they might later regret. Starting off though, things were in the Stars favour, both Kings openers going for a total of 4 runs.

Unfortunately for the Stars, the story didn't stay that way for long. Tom Kohler-Cadmore (40), Shoaib Malik (44), Ashen Bandara (42) and Thisara Perera (57) took control and smashed the ball around the park.

Considering the start you wouldn't believe the score as Jaffna Kings headed in 207/6 at the innings break.

It was never going to be Colombo Stars' night and they were all out for just 114, with Wahab Riaz 4-25 the star with the ball for the Kings.
