St. Anthony’s grabs close win over Thurstan
The Antonians, coming out for the first time, scored a fairly close first innings win over Thurstan at Katugastota yesterday.
Nimesha Gunasinghe, put a lean patch behind him, to score an entertaining century that propelled his team to a reasonable total.
However half centuries from Ravindu Lakshan and Kavindu Kulasekera ensured that the Thurstanites made a strong reply. But it was Gunasinghe once again who led the Antonian effort in the field.
Viraj Deepal’s pleasing 46 was the high-point of the Antonian reply.
St. Anthony’s 233 in 68.2 overs (V. Deepal 27, N. Gunasinghe 105, K. Pulukuttiarachchi 69; R.H. Perera 6 for 50, V. Lakshan 2 for 37) and 156 in 47.3 overs (K. Ukgalpaya 17, V. Deepal 46, N. Gunasinghe 21, K. Pulukuttiarachchi 23, K. Madumamga 20; R.H. Perera 4 for 46 -match bag 10 for 96 -, V. Lakshan 3 for 49)
Thurstan 211 in 57.3 overs (V.R. Lakshan 54, K. Kulasekera 61, A. Pieris 32, N. Jaleel 22; N. Gunasinghe 4 for 44, D. Bandara 3 for 10) and 4 for no loss in 2 overs.
