Earlier in the day Mahinda College won the toss and batted first but failed to capitalize on a very good batting surface as they were bowled out in the 47th over of their innings.
Navod Paranavithana’s half century gave some respectability to the Mahinda innings but no other batsman made much of an impression as they were bundled out for a below par 169. Sandun Mendis was the most successful bowler picking up three wickets while Avindu Theekshana chipped in with two.
