Ragama CC’s man in-form, Nishan Madushka slammed the first triple century of the ongoing Major Club Cricket Tournament, hitting an unbeaten 300 against Sebastianites C&AC on day two in the match played at the Thurstan ground.

This in fact was Madushka’s third successive three figure mark from two matches, following his knocks of 150 and an unbeaten ton in the first match against Galle CC last week.

Madushka, who was unbeaten on 155 on the first day, reached his triple ton in 415 balls. He hit 26 boundaries and added to that, he was associated in two valuable partnerships. The first partnership was of 148 runs for the second wicket with Saminda Fernando, followed by a massive 276-run stand for the third wicket with Janith Liyanage. Liyanage also made 140 to help Ragama CC reach a formidable score of 591 for 3 before declaring their innings. In reply Sebastianites C&AC the day on 53 for 2.

Apart from Madushka’s triple ton there were two double tons made, both unbeaten, by Kamindu Mendis of CCC and Dilan Jayalath of BRC. Mendis made 200 in 233 balls with 18 boundaries and six sixes while Jayalth made 203 in 353 balls with 20 boundaries.
