Vithanarachchi 6 for 25 guides Dharmaraja
View(s):Another fine spell of left arm spin bowling by consistent Aravinda Vithanarachchi (6 for 25) helped his team Dharmaraja to bowl out the visiting St. Servatius lads from Matara for 170 in their Under 19 tournament match at Lake View yesterday.
Vithanarachchi was never collared and kept the pressure on the batsmen right through.
Two under fifteen lads, top scorer Umesh and Randika Ashan combined to add 43 for the eighth wicket – the best partnership of the innings.
Rajan openers Rameesh Ranasinghe and Jayapadura Tennekoon laid the groundwork for a big total with a decent opening stand.
St. Servatius 170 in 72.4 overs (K. Umesh 49 n.o, R. Ashan 31, Y. Channaka 18, S. Nishtara 22; A, Vithanarachchi 6 for 25)
Dharmaraja 48 for 1 in 17 overs (J. Tennekoon 22 n.o, R. Ranasinghe 15; C. Priyantha 1 for 14) – AK
