Lanka Premier League 2022: Jaffna Kings clinch their third LPL title with victory over Colombo Stars

In the ultimate match of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2022, Jaffna Kings squared off in opposition to Colombo Stars on the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday. Jaffna Kings received the toss and opted to area first.

Put in to batted first, Colombo Stars posted a aggressive whole of 163/5 in their 20 overs, with some strong contributions from their prime order batters – Dinesh Chandimal (49), Charith Asalanka (31) and Ravi Bopara (47 not out). In response, Jaffna Kings bought off to a shaky begin, shedding a number of early wickets. However, Avishka Fernando steadied the innings with an excellent knock of fifty runs from 43 balls, together with 4 fours and 1 six. He was properly supported by Sadeera Samarawickrama (44 off 27) within the center, and the Kings managed to chase down the goal within the ultimate over to win the match by two wickets.

Fernando was named the ‘Player of the Match’ for his essential knock, and the Kings received their third LPL title with this victory. It was a nail-biting end to the match, with the Kings displaying nice resilience and willpower to come back out on prime.
