The 2nd day of the final of the National Super League 4-day Tournament 2023 was played today at Galle International Stadium between Team Galle & Team Dambulla after the bowlers dominated on day 1.
From the overnight score of 26/4, Team Galle slipped further as they were reduced to 39/6 by Lahiru Samarakoon, picking another 2 wickets this morning. However, Pathum Kumara showed some rearguard action, was the top scorer with 78 runs and rebuilt the innings with Suminda Lakshan (41) & Kavishka Anjula (26), both made some useful contributions just like they did throughout this tournament with the bat.
Somehow, Team Galle managed to get 187 runs & has given Team Dambulla, a slight advantage in the 1st innings with a 61-run lead. Wanindu Hasaranga was able to find some form in the longer format, picking up 4 wickets while Lahiru Samarakoon & Sonal Dinusha shared 5 wickets too.
With the 1st innings lead, Team Dambulla hasn’t got the start they want as they lost 4 for 55. But, opening batsman, Sonal Dinusha (51*) & experienced batter Ashan Priyanjan (34*) steadied the ship with an unbroken 61-run partnership and the lead of 150 runs was exceeded. At the end of play on day 2, Team Dambulla were on 116/4 while Mohammed Shiraz took 2 wickets for Team Galle.
Day 3 will resume tomorrow.
187/10 (53.2) & 182/10 (47.3)
