Cricket: Victoria's UTSC go down under to MCA by 36 runs

Despite an elegant 99 runs by the Club President, 45-year-old, Devon Ranaweera, for the visiting United Tarneit Sports Club (UTSC) from Victoria, Australia, Tyrone de Silva’s MCA Invitation XI coasted to a comfortable 36-runs win, in their friendly 20+20 Cricket encounter at the MCA Grounds.
 
Ranaweera (99 in 58 balls, with 4 sixes and 12 fours) unfortunately was run out while going for a 2nd run to reach his well deserved ton. 

Earlier on, the MCA Invitation XI batting first, put up a challenging 209/5 in 20 overs, which was built on two productive partnerships- 57 runs for the 2nd wicket between Sujith Perera (42) and Namal Seneviratne (50 rtd in 26 balls, with 4 sixes and 4 fours) and 61 runs for the 4th wicket between Wasanthalal Fernando (45 rtd) and Punnyakantha Abeygunasekera (26 n.o.) 
A tidy spell by Angelo Dissanayake (4-0-20-2) turned the tide against the visitors, who could only muster 173/6 in 20 overs.
