Ashain takes 10 on birthday to seal 4th win for the Josephians
St Aloysius’ College was trailing in the first innings as the Isipathana boys managed to take a lead of 13 runs. However, Dulmin Dasun and Adithya Yapa led Isipathana College to their destruction by restricting them to 117 and manufacturing St Aloysius’ College’s maiden outright win of the tournament. The pair bagged 7 and 6 wicket match hauls.
Another trial by spin was held at Galle ICS when St. Anthony’s College, Kandy and Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda met with heavy spin artillery to back both teams. Unsurprisingly, 34 out of the available 40 wickets were shared among the spin quartet – Lohan de Zoyza (10 wickets), Kavindu Nadeeshan (7), Nimnaka Jayathilaka (8) and Gihan Ebert (9). The duo of Nimnaka and Gihan destroyed Dharmasoka College in the 2nd innings just for 58 runs, guiding their team to a huge 171 victory.
Another thrilling encounter was worked off at S. Thomas’ College Grounds as the first innings totals of both teams were parted from just 3 runs, which favoured the host even though the game ended in a draw.
The rest of today’s completed games ended in draws. Here are a few notable performances.
