Badureliya Sports Club v Colombo Cricket Club ? Premier Limited Over Tournament (Group A) ? Match Update ? Badureliya SC win by 2 wickets
A 5-wicket haul from Roshan Laksiri enabled the Badureliya Sports Club to keep the Colombo Cricket Club down to a low total, which they then chased down successfully, securing a 2-wicket win in their Group A match during the ongoing Premier Limited Over Tournament, played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, today on December 10.
The Badureliya SC won the toss and decided to field first, after which Roshan Laksiri (10-1-23-5) launched a fierce assault, backed by Saliya Saman (10-0-55-2) and Lahiru Gamage (8-0-40-2). Together, they succeeded in bowling the Colombo CC out for 207.
Wicketkeeper batsman Suresh Niroshan (4), Adeesha Nanayakkara (1), and Gihan Rupasinghe (0) were all dismissed early, the first two off Gamage, and the latter by Saman. However, opening batsman Lahiru Weragala top-scored for the team with 55, although most of the remaining batsmen failed to support him in keeping the Colombo CC?s innings moving forward.
Weragala found an able partner in Hasantha Fernando (26), who joined him for a 62-run partnership for the fourth wicket. After Fernando?s dismissal at the hands of Laksiri, Weragala teamed up with Gayan Wijekoon (39) for a 76-run fifth-wicket stand.
The Colombo CC had managed to reach a steady 148, when Laksiri struck in the 40th over ? after taking Wijekoon, Weragala, and Maduka Liyanapathiranage (0) out of the game, he followed it up with the wicket of Arosh Janoda (3) four overs later. By this point, the Colombo CC were at 158 for 8.
Nimesh Perera ? snr (35) offered the team some respite, and his 44-run 9th-wicket stand with Chinthaka Perera (16) got the team past the 200-run mark ? however, the latter soon fell prey to Saman, while the former was bowled by Sahan Wijeratne, with the Colombo CC finishing, all out, at 207.
The Badureliya SC, however, were up to the challenge of the chase, and managed to reach 208, despite the efforts of the Colombo CC?s Fernando (8-1-29-2) and Rupasinghe (10-0-26-2).
Saliya Saman top-scored for the team with an unbeaten 38, while Pabasara Waduge (34) and Nilushan Nonis (30) chipped in with useful performances. Sebastian Perera (26) and skipper Sahan Wijeratne (24) both managed to pass the 20-run mark, but the remainder of the batsmen failed to capitalise on their starts. However, the contributions of Mapa Bandara (12), Ruvinda Shamen (15), Roshan Laksiri (11*) came in handy, and guided by Saman, the Badureliya SC worked their way up to 208, with 2 wickets and 4 balls remaining.
