Kavishka & Kavishka steer St. Sylvester’s to victory

U19 Schools Cricket Season 2021/2022

674
U19 Schools Round Up

Seven games of the SLSCA U19 Schools Cricket Tournament 2021/2022 were played around the Island today (15).

Kavishka Dilshan (76) and Kavishka Imesh (74) of St. Sylvester’s College struck valuable half-centuries to earn a 98-run victory for their team over Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda. Imesh was an absolute match-winner for the Kandy school as he too bagged 4 wickets for 40 runs for them.

The highest scorer of the day was Isuru Nidarshana of Moratu Maha Vidyalaya, although his innings of 89 runs was not enough to take his school over the line. Isipathana College, which was fueled by the half-centuries of Yasith Kalupahana (69) and Randunu Ganganath (60), scored 311 runs, to which the Moratuwa school only could reply with a well-fought 282.

Dumindu Sewmina of Lumbini College was the pick of the bowlers for the day as he recorded figures of 6 for 20 to wreck St. Joseph Vaz College. His spell allowed the St. Joseph Vaz batters to post only 115 runs on board, and the Lumbini batters hunted it down with 6 wickets intact.

The right-arm off-spinner from Zahira College Raeed Rizwan also posted a fifer today, although his efforts went in vain as Zahira lost the game to Thurstan College by 77 runs.
