St. Anthony’s stun Trinity by 77 runs

Kandy’s Limited Over Battle of Blues
By Aubrey Kuruppu

Embarrassed and almost humbled a week ago, the Anthonians hit back at the Trinitians with a vengeance to score a stunning 77 run win over the latter in their 30th limited over match at Katugastota yesterday.

Opener Hiran Wickremasekera set the stage with a polished 74 and added 98 for the second wicket with Sarachchandra before the latter nobly sacrificed his wicket to save his partner. Reyal started quietly and then exploded, taking 21 off Jayasundera’s over.

233 was a gettable target but Trinity approached it badly and was soon under pressure. Except for Wijesuriya, Jaleel, Wickrema, Dikwella and Jayasundera, the others cut a sorry figure. Reyal with four wickets, two catches and a fifty walked away with the Man of the Match award.

St. Anthony’s 232 in 48. 3 overs (H. Wickremasekera 74, S. Liyanage 19, A. Reyal 50, M. Saratcchandra 40, P. de Silva 15; R. Jaleel 3 for 38, A. Jayasundera 2 for 39).

Trinity 155 in 30.2 overs (S. Wijesuriya 27, R. Jaleel 24, K. Jayasuriya 16, S. Wickrema 16 n.o; A. Reyal 4 for 35, K. Ranaraja 3 for 32, M. Ranasinghe 2 for 20).
