Air Force SC managed to record a comprehensive 6-wicket win over Lankan CC as Harsha Cooray’s well compiled knock of 59 runs could not save Lankan CC. In the encounter between Negombo CC and BRC, the standout performer was the off-spinner Roscoe Thattil as he pioneered Negombo CC to their victory, taking 5 scalps for just 23 runs.
Saracens SC and Moors SC cruised to rather convincing victories over Panadura SC and Police SC respectively. Charitha Dulanjan (61*), Hashan Dumindu (52) and Chaminda Bandara (3/22) starred in Saracens’ victory, while the experienced campaigner Jeevan Mendis showed his tricks with the ball by taking 3 scalps for 13 runs, guiding Moors to victory.
NCC opening batsman Lahiru Udara had a great outing today with the bat as he made an unbeaten 65 runs, helping his side to register their second consecutive win of the tournament. Ragama CC also had their second win today, as a collective bowling effort from their bowlers led by Binura Fernando (3/08), Ishan Jayaratne (2/08) and Amila Aponso (2/10) helped them to clinch a win over Sebastianites CC.
The encounter between Kandy Customs SC and Badureliya CC went down to the wire, but the lads from Kandy held their nerve to secure a 1-wicket win at the end. In a low-scoring affair, Chilaw Marians registered a 3-wicket victory over Kalutara TC where the dashing left-hander Thiskhila de Silva (38) and young batsman Lasith Croospulle (33) shone with the bat.
