Weather plays spoilsport
In the majority matches, weather as a whole allowed only little to no play at day-02’s end yesterday in the Major League Cricket Tournament. However, in the progress so far, Bloomfield’s Yohan De Silva hit a hundred, national cap Malinda Pushpakumara picked up a five-for and Miranga Wickramage of Kandy CCC bettered Pushpakumara’s spell with a 7/65. All matches got underway besides the games between Kurunegala YCC and BRC at Kurunegala and Panadura SC vs Tamil Union at the Panadura Esplanade, where play is yet to begin even after two days.
