Jaffna Kings toppled Galle Marvels in a lop-sided Lanka Premier League (IPL) 2024 final at the iconic R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The outcome marked the fourth title victory for the franchise since the inception of the tournament.


Here’s the timeline of how Galle Marvels vs Jaffna Kings panned out in Colombo:


GM vs JK Highlights: Behrendorff, Fernando Strike Early For Jaffna

Jason Behrendorff struck early for Jaffna Kings by getting rid of both Galle Marvels in the opening powerplay. After rattling Niroshan Dickwella’s stumps in his first over, the speedster had Alex Hales caught out at extra cover by Dhananjaya de Silva as the Marvels slipped to 13-2 in four overs.

Asitha Fernando further worsened Marvels’ misery by dismissing Janith Liyanage at 24-3 in the seventh over of the match.


GM vs JK Highlights: Seifert Leads Galle Recovery

Forming forces with Bhanuka Rajapaksa at 24-3 in 6.5 overs, number three batter Tim Seifert punched out 47 runs from 37 balls to steady Galle Marvels innings. The cricketer pounded four sixes and a couple of boundaries in the process to take his team to 86-3 in 12 overs before becoming Asitha Fernando’s second wicket of the evening.


GM vs JK Highlights: Rajapaksa Plunders 34-Ball 82 In Strong Marvels Finish

Bhanuka Rajapaksa clobbered eight boundaries and six sixes to plunder 82 runs from just 34 deliveries. His marauding approach with the bat and handy partnerships with Tim Seifert and Sahan Arachchige ensured Galle Marvels listed a competitive 184-6 by the completion of their 20 overs.


GM vs JK Highlights: Pretorius Gets Nissanka On 1st Ball

Chasing 185, Jaffna Kings lost opener Pathum Nissanka off the first ball of the innings. The in-form opening batter nicked one towards Galle Marvels wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella off the bowling of new-ball speedster Dwaine Pretorius.


GM vs JK Highlights: Rossouw, Mendis Gun Down Marvels With Unbroken Stand

Jolted early by Dwaine Pretorius, Jaffna Kings opener Kusal Mendis counterattacked alongside number three batter Rilee Rossouw with an unbroken 185-run stand to steer their team to a nine-wicket victory. While Mendis bashed 72* runs from 40 balls, Rossouw plundered an unbeaten 53-ball 106* and laced his innings with nine boundaries and seven sixes.

Their partnership helped Jaffna Kings gun down Marvels’ 184-run total with more than four overs to spare.
