Amitha Dabare (52) of Nugegoda S&WC and Gajitha Kotuwegoda (50) of Navy SC also scored half-centuries to spice up the day. Dabare celebrated a 54-run victory against Police SC while Kotuwegoda was not lucky as the low-scoring encounter against BRC did not end in his team’s favor. 

Sachindu Colombage of Tamil Union C&AC and Nipun Lakshan of Nugegoda S&WC are the boys in the spotlight with the ball in hand. Leg-spinner Colambage bagged 4 for 21 runs to leave Bloomfield C&AC breathless on 121 runs while Lakshan recorded a four-fer to seal the game for Nugegoda S&WC.
