Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: @himanshu_a30
That's all from us from the first of the two LPL games this evening. But don't forget to hop on to the action between Dambulla Giants and Kandy Warriors soon, with the latter in a must-win position. Until then, it is goodbye from Thilak, Vairavan and me, Himanshu!
Thisara Perera, the winning captain: "Really good for the youngsters. If we can play good cricket, we can play well. Anything can happen in cricket. Hopefully we can give something special. I have top five bowlers, so I am not bowling."
Angelo Mathews, the Stars captain: "We were not firing, so we had to change the batting order. One game remains, and we have got to go out there and win. We shifted Kusal and Banton hoping they would fire."
Tom Kohler-Cadmore is the Player of the Match: "You would always like a hundred, but the man thing is for me to take the team over the line. It is about the two points we have got tonight. All our players have hit form at the right time."
Time for the presentations
6.16pm Stars were never really in the chase, and repeated strikes by the Kings' bowlers meant they were wrapped up for 91 inside 16 overs. Only three batters got into double figures for Stars, as all young bowlers - Seales, Viyaskanth and Theekshana - delivered with the ball for Kings. By the way, this is also the biggest win by runs in the LPL.

Seales to Naveen-ul-Haq, OUT, nails the yorker, and bang! Too quick for a No. 11 that one. The ball landed right in the yorker length on off, as Naveen tried to jam his bat down but was late, as the ball angled in a touch after pitching, and struck middle and off. Seales is off in celebration, as Kings win by a massive 102 runs

4b
Seales to Naveen-ul-Haq, 4 byes, slower delivery, which beats the batter as well as the keeper. He digs it in short and outside off, as Naveen thinks of a poke but withdraws his bat, as the ball bounces just ahead of the keeper, who misses too. Four byes

Seales to Naveen-ul-Haq, no run, goes for the swing, but misses. Full and outside off, and he tries to slog without any foot movement

Seales to Naveen-ul-Haq, FOUR, pulled just short of fine leg, who dives forward, but the ball just evades his right hand. Short delivery on off, and Naveen pulled with a swivel almost with his eyes off the ball
Naveen is the last man. Seales stays over the wicket.
Time-out now

Seales to Chameera, OUT, bowled him! The slower ball does the trick. It was a legcutter, and on a good length on off, as it skidded on off the pitch. Chameera went for the clip while playing across the line to that delivery, and ended up missing it perhaps because it was bowled with a change of pace or maybe even because it didn't really get up off the surface. But anyway, Seales gets his third as Stars lose their ninth

PW Hasaranga to Chameera, 1 run, fuller, but on his pads. He taps that toward midwicket and sets off hurriedly for a single

What if teams got more points for taking Tests longer (but draws weren't rewarded)?
The current WTC system is weighed in favour of bowler-friendly pitches. Here's one that aims to incentivise longer Test matches that end in an outright result
