Royal College regained the Mustangs Trophy after a lapse of five years with a thrilling 1-wicket win over traditional rivals S. Thomas’ College in the 44th Limited Overs encounter played at the SSC grounds on Saturday (16).
The architects of the Royal win were Kamil Mishara, Ahan Sanchitha and skipper Kavindu Madarasinghe in the early part of their run chase and then Lahiru Madusanka who with his calypso style batting shocked the Thomian supporters.
Lahiru single-handedly took the responsibilities on his shoulders when Royals ninth wicket fell with the score on 235 in the third ball of the 46th over.
He blasted 24 runs in just nine balls which stunned the spectators as he guided his side to victory with two overs to spare.
