Badureliya Sports Club v Colombo Cricket Club – Premier Limited Over Tournament (Group A) – Match Update – Badureliya SC win by 2 wickets
A 5-wicket haul from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Illeperuma-Arachchige-Roshan-Laksiri-Illeperuma-c64169 enabled the Badureliya Sports Club to keep the Colombo Cricket Club down to a low total, which they then chased down successfully, securing a 2-wicket win in their Group A match during the ongoing Premier Limited Over Tournament, played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, today on December 10.
The Badureliya SC won the toss and decided to field first, after which Roshan Laksiri (10-1-23-5) launched a fierce assault, backed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Panagamuwa-Lihiru-Sampath-Gamage-c80675 (8-0-40-2). Together, they succeeded in bowling the Colombo CC out for 207.
Wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lahiru-Anurudda-Weragala-c72108 top-scored for the team with 55, although most of the remaining batsmen failed to support him in keeping the Colombo CC’s innings moving forward.
Weragala found an able partner in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wijekoon-Mudiyanselage-Gayan-Ramyakumara-c96541 (39) for a 76-run fifth-wicket stand.
The Colombo CC had managed to reach a steady 148, when Laksiri struck in the 40th over – after taking Wijekoon, Weragala, and Maduka Liyanapathiranage (0) out of the game, he followed it up with the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamburathu-Godagamage-Arosh-Janoda-c65392 (3) four overs later. By this point, the Colombo CC were at 158 for 8.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahamandige-Sahan-Rangana-Wijeratne-c73768, with the Colombo CC finishing, all out, at 207.
The Badureliya SC, however, were up to the challenge of the chase, and managed to reach 208, despite the efforts of the Colombo CC’s Fernando (8-1-29-2) and Rupasinghe (10-0-26-2).
Saliya Saman top-scored for the team with an unbeaten 38, while Pabasara Waduge (34) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Maparalalage-Damith-Gunaratne-Mapa-Bandara-c74329 (12), Ruvinda Shamen (15), Roshan Laksiri (11*) came in handy, and guided by Saman, the Badureliya SC worked their way up to 208, with 2 wickets and 4 balls remaining.
