Earlier, needing a target of 150 runs to win the match, United openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 had a shaky start with Akmal even getting a life line before losing his wicket after jabbing 12 runs off 15 deliveries, leaving his team standing on a total of 16.
Hafeez and DSNFG Jayasuriya then forged a resounding partnership and put their team on a course towards victory by taking the score to 66 runs.
However, before the partnership could cause any further damage, Hafeez was removed by Lokuarachchi on a score of 34 off 31 balls.
Things took an ugly turn from here, as United lost Jayasuriya with only 84 on the board. The batsman was dismissed by Lokuarachchi after hammering an innings of 28 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LD-Chandimal-c1831 was next to follow, losing his wicket cheaply after scoring only nine runs, leaving his side on a total of 93.

K Weeraratne and all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 put up some fight, taking the score to 109 before Weeraratne perished after hammering 10 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Razzaq-c84421 was then United’s last hope, and the batsman almost took his side to an outstanding finish - needing just a six on the last delivery to draw the game. However, this was not his day as United lost the game with him being unbeaten on 36 off 18 deliveries.
CA Lynn from Kandurata Warriors was named as the Player of the match for his exuberant knock of 80 runs off 51 deliveries that helped his side reach a decent total of 149.
