Zahirians found Thilan too much to handle and were struggling were dismissed for 195 runs in their first innings. The opening day’s proceedings was hampered by rain as only seven overs of play was possible with Zahira ending the day on 43 for no loss.

In their turn Prince of Wales were 160 for 6 when bad light stopped play a few minutes before the scheduled close at 5.45 pm.
Zahira (43/0 overnight) 195 (Mohamad Ahnas 32m Sajith Sameera 31, Mohamed Najath 27, Mohamed Shamas 23, Irosh Lakruwan 38: Thilan Nimesh 6 for 32, K. Peiris 2 for 82)

Prince of Wales 160 for 6 bad light at stumps (Kasun Ekanayake 41, Sandun Soysa 38, Vihanga Weerakkody 30 not out Hosni Hussain 2 for 28)
