Nagenahira Nagas grab a seven-wicket win on Monday - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – August 14, 2012
In the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League (SLPL) Nagenahira Nagas secured a seven-wicket win against Kandurata Warriors, chasing down a total of 160 runs in 19.3 overs needed to win the match.
Earlier, Kandurata Warriors chose to bat first on winning the toss, as they wanted to post a heavy total on the board to leave their opponents in a spot of bother.
However, they had a disappointing start, as they lost their first wicket with only a run on the board.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Samaraweera-c2712, was the first casualty of the day, as he fell on a knock of one run.
With the upper-order failing to post a big partnership, it was a staggering knock of 72 runs by
Thisara Perera that saved the side from faltering on a small total, as the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 managed to post a daunting tally of 159 on the board.
However, before the Warriors could pose a series challenge, their bowling brigade was shredded into bits and pieces by Nagenahira Nagas openers Imran Nazir and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ahmed-Shehzad-c42359, who clobbered a massive opening stand of 85 runs.
Nagas reached the required target for the loss of three wickets, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248 coming out as the Player of the Match for his astounding knock of 58 runs.
