Chilaw vs SSC
The title clash was heading only one way when Ashen Silva and Shehan Jayasuriya put on 245 for the first wicket against SSC for Chilaw Marians.
Shehan Jayasuriya hit an explosive 146 while Ashen Silva made a patient 105 as Chilaw ended the day on 337/8 losing 8/92 in the latter part of the day.
Left arm quick Akthab Cader’s late spell kept SSC in the match as he picked up three wickets while Sachithra Senanayake chipped in with two.
SSC will need to make a big first innings score and might even need an innings win now to topple Chilaw from their number one position.
