Dhananjaya double has ‘Sokians’ in a fix
By Aubrey Kuruppu
An outstanding all-round effort by Dhananjaya Karunaratne (6 for 88 and 52) helped St. Sylvester's to take major honours in theire drawn game against Dharmasoka at the Police Grounds, Kandy.

If it was Karunaratne who stole the show with the ball, most of the Sylvestrian front-liners contributed with the bat to take their team to an impressive total. Chandimal Tharaka and de Silva batted aggressively for the visitors while Madusanka did well with the ball.

Dharmasoka - 234 (D. Anthony 20, D. Chandimal 56, M.K. Chintaka 21, K.M. Tharaka 63 n.o; R. Karunaratne 2 for 55, D. Karunaratne 6 for 88, S. Najurdeen 2 for 30) and 173 for 5 (D. Anthony 26, D. Chandimal 31, R. Madusanka 26 n.o, D. de Silva 47 n.o)

St. Sylvester's - 282 (R. Wickremaarachchi 56, T. Jayatissa 21, S. Najurdeen 44, D. Karunaratne 52, M. Peshal 43, S. Alahakoon 28; D. Anthony 2 for 63, R. Madusanka 4 for 83, I. Udayanga 2 for 35)
