MAS Unichela beat Hatton National Bank by 2 wkts. with 3 balls to spare to mark the conclusion of the 2nd edition of the Bharthi Aitel sponsored MCA Super T20 Segment I cricket championship at the MCA Grounds recently.

MAS Unichela skipper Farvez Mahroof led from the front scoring an unbeaten half century to see his side reaching the target of 157 set by the bankers in the last over with three balls to spare at the finals. HNB had to be the bridesmaid yet for one more year as at the last year’s finals too they ended up runners-up losing to Sampath Bank. 

MCA will stage later the Segment II T20 tournament which will help the lesser known cricketers to be in the spotlight on the selections to the national pool.
