View(s):

An impressive all-round effort helped St. Joseph’s College to a crushing innings and 62-run win over Wesley College in their inter-school cricket fixture concluded at Darley Road yesterday.

A century by Dineth Jayakody and half centuries by Johanne de Zilva (79) and Dunith Wellage (72 n.o.) propelled the hosts to an imposing first innings score of 309/4 in reply to Wesley’s paltry 117. They then bowled the visitors out for 130 runs with Miranga Wickremage who picked up 3 for 25 in the first innings, claiming seven wickets for 62 runs to lead them to a sensational victory. Dunith who made an unbeaten half century was the pick of the bowlers in the first innings claiming five for 45 to bowl out the hapless visitors cheaply.

There were two other outright wins recorded by Holy Cross Kalutara against St. Thomas’ Matale at Maggona and Vidyaloka MV Galle over St. Joseph’s Wattala at Galle.
