The Final of the National Super League 4-day Tournament 2023 continued today for the 3 rd day at Galle International Stadium between Team Galle & Team Dambulla.
The overnight set batters, Sonal Dinusha (59) & Ashan Priyanjan (39), departed early in the morning as they lost their way, 8 wickets down for 134. However, the no. 10 batsman Ranitha Liyanarachchi’s vital knock of 45 took Team Dambulla to 196. Seam bowler Mohammed Shiraz shone with the ball as he registered a brilliant fifer on spin-friendly Galle pitch.
Chasing 258 to become NSL champions, once again, Team Galle’s top order was unable to contributed as much as they would have liked to. At the end of day 3, they stand at 98/5, with the 1st innings half-centurion Pathum Kumara staying unbeaten on 26, while they have a mountain to climb on the upcoming day 4. On the other hand, Lahiru Samarakoon was able to pick another 3 wickets as he did in the Galle 1st innings.
Expect more action as an important day 4 comes up tomorrow.
187/10 (53.2) & 182/10 (47.3)
