Chilaw Marians thrash Bloomfield by innings
Chilaw Marians thrashed Bloomfield by an innings and 104 runs on day two of the SLC 3-day Major League Cricket match at Reid Avenue yesterday. In response to Chilaw Marians’ 344 all out in the first innings, the home team managed scores of 103 and 137 respectively in both essays. Keshara Nuwantha was the pick of the bowlers, claiming a match bag of 8 for 103, including a five-fer in the second innings. Nipuna Premaratne had figures of 5 for 29 in the first innings as he combined with Nuwantha to bowl the hosts out for a paltry 103 in the first innings.
Meanwhile Ragama CC left-arm spinner Shashika Dulshan grabbed headlines last evening when he claimed a hat-trick on his way to return figures of 5 for 86 in their match against Panadura SC at Thurstan grounds. Dulshan had Rajeewa Weerasinghe caught behind for 25 runs before trapping Vishwa Lahiru and Yashan Avishka leg before in successive deliveries to end Panadura’s first innings on 396. Samarath Seth made 101 for Panadura with 12 boundaries and two sixes. In response, Ragama were 217 for 2 with openers Lahiru Thirimanne (84) and Nishan Madushka (69) sharing 162 runs for the first wicket.
