Batting first, Stars posted a score of 162/7, thanks to Angelo Mathews' 73 off 57 which included eight fours and three sixes. Chasing the target of 163 in 18 overs, the Gladiators were bundled out for 121. Kusal Mendis was the lone warrior for the team scoring 64 off 39 balls. Colombo Stars won by 41 runs and are now placed at the fourth position in the points table. 

A major highlight came in the 16th over of the Gladiators innings, with lower-order batters Dhananjaya Lakshan and Noor Ahmed at the crease. Lakshan tried to clear the ropes off a Ravi Rampaul delivery with a wild hoick across the line and seemed to have made decent contact. However, Naveen-ul-Haq sprinted across and took a sensational catch at the boundary line to send Lakshan back to the pavilion for 6. Naveen timed his jump perfectly, but the momentum of the shot was taking him over the rope. He threw the ball in the air before crossing the boundary line and came back into the field of play to complete the catch. The Afghanistan quick also bagged 3/27 from his 3.5 overs.
