The opening day of the SLC Invitation T20 Tournament 2019/20 saw 12 matches being worked out across the island, 3 matches from each group.
SLC invitational L/O tournament champions, Chilaw Marians’ skipper Shehan Jayasuriya, who has been discarded from the Sri Lanka T20I squad for the upcoming tour of India, let his bat talk today with a brilliant century at the SSC grounds. Young all-round sensation Kamindu Mendis stroked an unbeaten 99 too as both propelled Chilaw MCC to 244 before left arm spinner Nimesh Vimukthi contributed with a 4-fer to certify a 127-run win for Chilaw MCC against Kurunagala YCC.

The 2019/20 Club Cricket season’s premier T20 tournament, also known as the SLC Invitational……
Current Sri Lanka A skipper and CCC skipper Ashan Priyanjan shone with bat and ball as he decimated Kandy Custom SC almost single-handedly with a 90 and 4-wicket haul. Kandy Custom’s Neranjan Kumuditha also contributed with a 4-wicket haul but that wasn’t enough to prevent a huge defeat by 140 runs.
Another high score was recorded in the fixture between NCC and Police SC as NCC openers Lahiru Udara and Pathum Nissanka (82,78 respectively) hammered the Police SC bowling attack to amass 234/3 in their 123-run win.
The only 5-fer of today was registered by Saracens SC seamer Mohommad Dilshad (5/21) against SSC, but his efforts went in vain as Saracens suffered a 9-run defeat.
Mansoor Amjad (4/18) of Galle CC, Nimanda Subasinghe (4/22) of Moors SC also managed to pick 4-fers and Colts opener Sadeera Samarawickrama blasted a quick fire 73 in their 32-run victory against Panadura SC.
