Rahula College Matara after conceding a big first inning lead to Lyceum International School Wattala fought their way back to record an outright win by two wickets in their Under-19 Inter-School Cricket encounter concluded at Uyanwatte Stadium in Matara yesterday.

The second day’s play saw Lyceum IS resuming from their second innings on their overnight score of 12 for no loss was bundled out for a paltry 71 runs.

Rahula College after being shot out for 51 runs in the first inning was left with the daunting task of chasing a score of 172 runs for victory. Some sensible batting by Yuraj Chalaka and Charith Sagara helped them reach the required target with ease.

An unbeaten half ton by Dulaj Silva helped St. Sebastian’s dominate day one against Nalanda in their match played at Campbell Place. St. Sebastian’s taking first lease of the wicket made a modest score of 182 and had Nalanda struggling on 58 for 4. The match will be continued today.
