Kandurata Warriors 149 - Kandurata Warriors won the toss and chose to bat
On Friday, Kandurata Warriors while batting first amassed a decent total of 149 runs against rivals Wayamba United in their Sri Lanka Premier League, at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
Warriors chose to bat first on winning the toss, aiming to post enough runs on the board to give the opposition a run for their money.
However, the side faced a terrible start, losing their first wicket with only seven runs on the board as opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, on a score of four.
On the last delivery of the same over, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Samaraweera-c2712 (2) also found his way off the field, losing his wicket on a run out.
Then with 14 on the scoreboard, the batting side suffered the demise of their third wicket when skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Jayasuriya-c2567 perished after knocking only four runs.
With wickets falling like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gareth-Berg-c1457, the Warriors desperately needed to get hold of the situation and stop the rampant bowling attack.
HGJM Kulatunga and CA Lynn forged a splendid partnership just at the right time, halting the bowling offensive and taking the score to a tally of 73.
GB Hogg then prevented the partnership from going any further, as he nabbed the wicket of Kulatunga on a score of 23 runs off 25 deliveries.
With 85 on the scoreboard, Hafeez grabbed his second wicket of the day, by dismissing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/NLTC-Perera-c2121 on a knock of two runs.
KS Lokuarachchi then took on a supporting role in the partnership with Lynn, as the duo steered the side to a total of 138.
Lynn hammered the bowlers all around the park, in a bid to increase the scoring rate and put runs on the board before allowing the bowling side to break this crucial partnership.
Wayamba United’s I Udana then stepped in, and broke the partnership by dismissing Lynn after the batsman had belted a staggering knock of 80 runs off 51 deliveries.
The remaining batsmen failed to play freely, as United restricted the Warriors from touching the 150 mark.
