Akram Muthalib scored a blistering captain’s knock of 162, but it still failed to help Trinity College register a win against Prince of Wales College in their Under-19 Inter-School cricket encounter which concluded in a draw at the Asgiriya Stadium in Kandy yesterday. The game was hampered by rain on the first day. Trinity declared after reaching 288 for 9 while the Cambrians were shot out for a low 158 in their first innings. Following on they played much better to bat on until close of play, making 100 for the loss of five wickets to force a draw.

Trinity skipper Muthalib’s magnificent knock of 162 included 17 boundaries and three huge sixes.

  •   Trinity (O’night 197-7) 288 for 9 decl (76.2) (Akram Muthalib 162, Chenuka Mendis 5/83)
  •   Prince of Wales 158 all out (44.3) (Tharindu Amarasinghe 75, Omesh Mendis 23, Theeraka Runathunga 3/20, Dinuka Tennakoon 3/33) and 115 for 6 (32) at close (Tharindu Amarasinghe 36, Tharana Wimaladharma 2/17)
