Sri Lanka fall to narrow defeat against Scotland
Sri Lanka fell agonizingly short of defeating Scotland in their Beach Volleyball Pool B encounter at Gold…
The pool B match at Coolangatta Beach, was a difficult one for the Sri Lankan pair against the far more skilled and experienced Canadian pair. The game ended in 32 minutes.
Pedlow & Schachter scored the first point and never looked back as they increased the lead and finally won the 1st set 21-11.
The Canadian duo were ruthless in the 2nd. At 9-4 they went on an 8-0 run to take a 13-point lead at 17-4. Sri Lanka could only add another point as Canada romped to a 21-5 win.
Asanka and Malintha will meet Kamara and Lombi, who lost to Pedlow and Schachter 22-20 & 21-14 on day 1, in a must win match to have any hopes of making it to the quarter finals.
