The skipper Salgado himself departed early as he was trapped in front for just 6 runs by the speedster Maanasa Madubashana.
The opening batter Dilana Damsara and the wicket-keeper batter Nathan David rebuilt the Peterite innings with a valuable 76-run partnership for the second wicket.
However, both the set batters were dismissed in quick succession, dragging St. Peter’s College onto the backfoot. Damsara was the top scorer for Peterites as he made 44 runs off 92 balls with 6 fours and a six.
The middle-order batter Asadisa De Silva also added crucial 38 runs as St. Peter’s College posted 176 runs for 7 wickets before the bad light brough early stumps on Day 1.
Nushan Perera and Demion De Silva impressed with the ball for St. Joseph’s College, snaring 2 wickets each.
