Nondescripts CC registered a dominant win over Sebastianites C & AC by an innings and 31 runs while another 9 matches kicked off today (30th June) at several venues across the country.
NCC skipper Lahiru Udara went on to score a brilliant hundred today after his opening partner Niroshan Dickwella recorded a century yesterday as the latter smashed 134 off just 140 within 14 fours & 1 six.
Then, left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya produced an excellent bowling display by picking up a 5-wicket haul, helping NCC to clinch the game with more than one day to spare. Sebastianites’ right-arm seamer Isitha Wijesundara also bagged a fifer in the match, but that effort didn’t rescue them from a loss.
Ninad Kadam who is playing for Chilaw Marians CC scored a 154-ball hundred which included 10 fours & 2 sixes. Upcoming star, Shevon Daniel hit the first ever double hundred of this tournament for Sinhalese SC against Negombo CC by smashing 209 runs off only 180 balls which consisted of 25 fours & 9 sixes and that helped SSC to post a mammoth 400+ total on the first day.
