Nagenahira Nagas v Uthura Rudras – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League 2012 – Match Update
Bolstered by Chamara Kapugedera’s 43, followed by Naved-ul-Hasan’s 3-wicket haul, the Uthura Rudras succeeded in clinching a 15-run win over the Nagenahira Nagas during the ongoing Sri Lanka Premier League, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on August
26.
The Uthura Rudras won the toss and elected to bat first, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ranaweera-Mudiyanselage-Shaminda-Eranga-c83939 (4-0-32-2)
stepped in to take Udawatte out of the game.
Quiney was dismissed, lbw, by Suraj Randiv in the very next over, leaving the Rudras at 42 for 2, and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jehan-Mubarak-c66822 (17) succeeded in getting the side up to 81 for 4 by the 13th over. Kapugedera top-scored for the team with 43, in addition
to establishing the highest partnership of the match – a 45-run 5th-wicket stand with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MF-Maharoof-c1944 (12).
His efforts enabled the team to reach 134 for 6 by the 19th over, after which he was sent back to the pavilion by Eranga. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dillon-du-Preez-c54112 (19*) and Naved-ul-Hasan (1*) chipped in with some final contributions to enable the Rudras to finish at
149 for 6 by the end of 20 overs.
The Rudras’ bowling attack was spearheaded by Player of the Match Naved-ul-Hasan, who registered his best figures in the tournament so far – 4-0-21-3. The efforts of the team’s bowlers, combined with shoddy running on the part of the Nagas’ batsmen, saw
Nagenahira restricted to 134 by the end of 20 overs.
Top order batsmen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Madurawelage-Don-Udara-Supeksha-Jayasundera-c73732
stuck it out for longer and managed a 22-run contribution before he became Naved-ul-Hasan’s first victim of the day in the 9th over.
Clumsy running led to three dismissals via run out – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Colin-de-Grandhomme-c51409 managed a valiant 43 off 28, but his efforts were unable to do much for the team. By the end of
20 overs, with Randiv (27*) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BAW-Mendis-c1127 (14*) at the crease, the Nagas found themselves at 134 – 15 runs short of the target.
