Air Force stun CCC to overcome Wanindu special

Wanindu Hasaranga hit a dodged half century before picking up 5/21 in his 10 over spell, but was unfortunate to end up on the losing side against Air Force SC.

Shohan Rangika was the star for the airmen after his five wicket haul restricted a star studded CCC unit to 176 all-out, before he guided a nervy run chase with an unbeaten 41* off just 28 balls inclusive of five towering sixes.

This result also confirmed CCC’s exit from the group stage with NCC and BRC guaranteed of a place in the quarterfinals.

An impressive spell of fast bowling from Asitha Fernando guided Chilaw Marians to a comfortable 80 run win over Army SC, while Lisula Lakshan stroked an elegant century in BRC’s crushing 7 wicket win over Badureliya SC.

Dimuth Karunaratne hit a classy 132 in SSC’s 275 all-out against Kurunegala while Dhammika Prasad also made a useful half century low down the order. Kurunegala in their turn were always well below par with Sachithra Senanayake and Charith Asalanka picking up three wickets apiece to guide SSC to a 142 run win.

A superb century from former Nalandian, Adeesha Nanayakkara surprised Ragama CC as they went down by 12 runs to Bloomfield, while a belligerent century from Ramith Rambukwella led Tamil Union to a crushing 8 wicket win over Negombo CC.

Mahela Udawatte’s 109 led NCC to an emphatic 291/8 in their allotted 50 overs against Police SC. NCC were never trouble during the Police run chase with the cops folding up for 111 with Lahiru Kumara doing bulk of the damage with a four wicket haul.
