Air Force SC (A) vs Seenigama CC at Air Force Grounds, Katunayake
Seenigama CC gave title contenders Air Force A a mighty scare in their last game of the tournament, restricting the hosts to 94/8. The game was reduced to a 20 over-a-side affair due to bad weather and Seenigama looked like they could cause an upset at 49/2 in the 12th over, with in form batters Kaveesha Dilhari and Sachini Nisansala at the crease, but the Air Force bowlers, led by Malsha Shehani and skipper Oshadi Ranasinghe led the way for the hosts, drying up the runs and eventually leading their team to a 27-run win.
