Half-centuries from Steve Arshan and skipper Sharujan Shanmuganathan guided St. Benedict’s College to a comfortable 6-wicket victory against Wesley College with nine balls remaining in their annual limited-over match played at P. Sara Oval yesterday.

This win enabled St. Benedict’s to retain the Rev. Bro Luke Gregory Trophy, adding to their recent success in the two-day encounter for the James Cartman Trophy at the same venue two weeks ago.

Chasing a target of 218 runs, St. Benedict’s benefitted from two crucial partnerships — a 71-run stand for the second wicket between Janindu Nandasena and Samindu Peiris, and a 111-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Steve and Sharujan, propelling them to victory in the 49th over.

Result
  •   Wesley 217 all out (50) (Kavindu Amarasinghe 54, Sanithu Amarasinghe 34, Deneth Sigera 33, Linal Subasinghe 26, Nilupul Liyanage 24n.o.,; Selvanayagam Akshar 3/36, Ayesh Gajanayake 3/40, Samindu Peiris 2/50)
  •   St. Benedict’s: 220 for 4 (48.3) (Steve Arshan 63, Sharujan Shanmuganathan 58n.o., Samindu Peiris 35, Janindu Nandasena 29; Sanithu Amarasinghe 2/41)
