From Nagenahira Nagas, RMS Eranga, was the top performer with the ball, as he took three wickets in his four overs.
Needing to chase a target of 147 in 20 overs, the Nagas required a steady start to their run chase.

A run later, TR Birt was caught behind off a delivery by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DP-Nannes-c1396, after scoring only a run off five deliveries.

Nannes then struck again by dismissing the Nagas skipper, who departed after scoring 30 runs. At the time of this wicket, the batting side was standing on a tally of 94.
Rahim and Pathirana then raced the total to 108, before the latter lost his wicket after contributing four runs off six deliveries.
