The week saw three players reaching personal milestones. The person who hit the headlines first was star all-rounder of Karandeniya Central, Samith Isuru. Isuru reached 100 wickets after missing out on achieving this milestone by just a few wickets last season. He then went on to become the 2nd double centurion of the tournament smashing 228 in their traditional affair against Taxila Central College taking him closer towards the 1000 run mark which he breached last season. 

Manuja Dulneth of Rahula College and Chinthaka Sandaruwan of Galahitiyawa Central College reached 100 wickets and 1000 runs respectively.
