Lanka Premier League 3: Dickwella stars in defeating Kings

Sport

Niroshan Dickwella's 62 and two catches and two wickets apiece by Suranga Lakmal, Dominic Brakes and Karim Janat laid the foundation for Colombo Kings to edge out Aura by nine-runs, in the last match at Hambantota on Thursday.

Batting first, skipper Angelo Mathews was out cheaply.

However, Dickwella's 62 and other late contributions proppeled them to a competitive target of 169, which Aura failed by a close margin.

Lahiru's Kumara's four-for was a thorn in their flesh and denied them from reaching the target.

Captain Dasun Shanaka was the second best with an unbeaten 31, but that was to no avail.

Chief scores:

Colombo stars: 165 for nine (20) (Niroshan Dickwella 62, Dinesh Chandimal 29 not out, Lahiru Kumara 4/36, Sikandar Raza 1/31) beat

Dambulla Aura: 156 for seven (20) (Tom Abell 33, Dasun Shanaka 31, Suranga 2/29, Karim Janat 2/30)
