Nalanda crush Dharmaraja by innings
Nalanda crushed Dharmaraja by an innings and 29 runs in their Under 19 inter-school cricket encounter concluded at Campbell Place yesterday.
The foundation for their win on day two was laid by Chaminda Wijesinghe and Umesha Dilshan who combined to wreck the Rajans in the first innings.
The pair shared seven wickets to bundle out the visitors for a paltry 90 runs. This was in reply to Nalanda’s formidable score of 301 for 8 declared which came on the back of a ton by Lakshitha Rasanjana and a half ton by Avishka Fernando.
A six wicket haul by Asel Sigera and an unbeaten ton by Sri Lanka U19 player Hasitha Boyagoda’s were the highlights of the drawn match between Ananda and Trinity which ended at Ananda Mawatha.
An unbroken 113 runs stand for the last wicket between Tashika Perera and Gihan Senanayake enabled St Sebastian’s make 305 for 9 declared and gain a first inning win over St Benedict’s at Kotahena.
