Cricket: T+20 Cricket League final washed out

Sport

The historic, Lastman Stand Sri Lanka T+20 Cricket League 2016 Finalbetween unbeaten, Heshan Flexi Packaging vs Union Bank Finance was completely ruined by rain and abandoned without a ball being bowled at De Mazenod College Grounds, Kandana.
 
The teams were declared as joint winners and shared the prize money of Rs. 150,000/- offered for the winner and the runners-up. 

This unique cricket concept, under the banner – 'A new way to play Cricket' is the brain child of young Sri Lankan entrepreneur domiciled in Brisbane, Australia, Sheran P. Fernando, an old boy of de Mazenod College, Kandana. 

Fernando has so far managed to spread the game (8 players per side) in 6 more countries, such as Australia, India, England, South Africa, his ultimate goal is the LMS World Cup in 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa. 

The Special Awards went to Nipuna Gamage from UB Finance (214.2 points best 82 vs Lanka Lions) who won the Best Batsman and Thivanka Kakulawela from Heshan Flexi who won the Best Bowler titles. 

However Heshan Flexi beat UB Finance by 93 runs in their League outing. 

Heshan Flexi 189/4 (20) (Gayan Prasanga 50, Chalitha Chamod 49, Arosha Perera 2/40) 

UBF 96/8 (16.1) ( R. Nirmal 34, Nuwan Hettiarachchi 4/20, Risith Upamal 2/2, Thivanka Kakulawela 2/12)
