The 88th Battle of the Saints 2 Day Cricket encounter between St. Peter’s College and St. Joseph’s College, will take place at the P. Saravanamuttu Grounds on the 18th and 19th of July.
The annual Cricket encounter between the two schools which was originally scheduled to be played on 14th and 15th July, had to be postponed due to the adverse situation in the country.
This year, both teams are captained by two talented all-rounders in Shevon Daniel for St. Joseph’s College and Wanuja Sahan for St. Peter’s College, both of whom have represented Sri Lanka at the Under 19 level.
St. Joseph’s College lead the match tally with 12 wins under their belt, while St. Peter’s College have managed to register 10 wins. 65 encounters have been ended as draws.
St. Joseph’s College last won the Battle of the Saints under the leadership of Ruwantha Fernandopulle in 2008, while St. Peter’s College recorded their last win in 2016 under the leadership of Vinu Mohotty.
