Going behind a target of 225 runs with over a day and a half of play remaining, Sebastianites lost their temperament, eventually falling at 177 runs, as Jayatissa returned to scatter six more wickets. Abishek Liyanaarachchi remained unbeaten on 80 off 142 deliveries, with six fours and a six, as he witness the rest of the Sebastianites fall at the other end.
