View(s):Premier Cricket
By M. Shamil Amit
Kusal Janith of Colts, Madawa Warnapura of Bloomfield and Janaka Gunaratne of Moors SC was on fire with the trio slamming blistering unbeaten knocks for their side in the Premier league cricket encounters against Air Force and Army.
Kusal and Madawa slammed double tons while Janaka was unfortunate as he was stranded on 199 when his team was bowled out.
Colts, thanks to Kusal’s knock, resuming on their overnight score of 94 for 1 ended day two making a mammoth 540 for 4 in reply to BRC’s 285 at the Colts ground.

At Braybrooke Place Janaka’s knock helped Moors SC end their innings making 519 against Air Force. They then bowled out the Airmen for 133 and had them struggling on 121 for 3 the second time and look set for the kill when play resumes today.
