Kandy Customs won the toss and elected bat first after the delay caused by bad weather which reduced the match to a 36-over affair but couldn’t succeed in piling on the runs. Batting team could only muster 136 runs in 36 overs for the loss of 6 wickets as off-spinner Rajeewa Weerasinghe picked up two opposition scalps for just 25 runs from his allotted 7 overs.
