Gaviru Senhas of D.S Senanayake College, Mishen Fernando of De Mazenod  College & Janitha Shehan of Gurukula College were the only batters to cross the 50-run mark across the 5 games which clearly shows that it was a day that belonged to bowlers.

On the other hand, bowlers enjoyed a lot of success today as Shakesh Minon of Wesley College, Hiruna Nimsara of Gurukula College & Akila Wickramasinghe of St. Sylvester’s College picked up 4 wicket hauls while Kaveesha Piyumal of St. Anthony’s College bowled the most notable spell of the day by taking 5 wickets for just 14 runs.
