Tillekaratne guides Sebastianites

With no Tier ‘A’, the spotlight was firmly focussed on the Tier ‘B’ Clubs and they did not disappoint any. At the Burgher Recreation Grounds, the home side were back pedalling after Sebastianites amassed 319 runs in their first essay. BRC were bowled out 177 in reply. The boys from Moratuwa finished the day at 78 for 3.

At the R. Premadasa Stadium Lankan CC had E. Fernando to thank as they made 253 against favourites Moratuwa SC. Fernando remained unbeaten on 104 off 175 balls with 12 hits to the ropes and two over them.
