Aided by two sterling batting performances from opening batsman Dhananjaya Lakshan and lower order batsman Dushan Hemantha, along with a back-breaking bowling spell by Avindu Theekshana 7/42, guided debutants MAS Intimates Silueta in their maiden appearance in big cricket, to a comprehensive 168 runs win over DIMO, in the 26th Singer-MCA Premier League 2019 Knockout Tournament Final, concluded at the MCA grounds last Sunday.

Sent in to bat MAS Silueta made merry with the DIMO attack, to amass 319/9 in 50 overs, riding on Dhananjaya Lakshan’s attractive 82 runs in 85 balls, with 6 sixes and 6 fours, and Dushan Hemantha’s cameo 82 runs in 65 balls, with 5 sixes and 5 fours.

MAS Silueta’s innings took off in the last 10 overs when Dushan Hemantha and Charana Nanayakkara (47 in 30 balls with 4 sixes and 2 fours) put on 90 runs in 53 balls for the 8th wicket. DIMO started their run chase in fine fettle, their openers, Nipun Karunanayake 42 in 57 balls with 6 fours, and Charitha Kumarasinghe 35 in 25 balls, engaged in a 72-runs stand in 75 balls.

The partnership ended when Angelo Emmanuel, in his very first over, took a brilliant return catch to dismiss Charitha Kumarasinghe .
