SLT and PLC reach Div ‘C’ semis
Sri Lanka Telecom and Peoples Leasing Company reserved their slots for the semi-finals of the ongoing MCA ‘C’ Division 50 Over Cricket Tournament 2020 when they defeated Heshan Flexe Packaging by four wickets and Commercial Credit by one wicket at the first two quarter-final matches played at the Army Grounds, Panadura and De Soysa Stadium, Moratuwa respectively yesterday.
Sri Lanka Telecom sailed to the semis with ease with 20.2 overs to spare while Peoples Leasing scored a hard fought win with 3.3 overs to spare.Sachin Divangana top scored for Telecom with a much needed half ton to guide his side to victory. A joint batting effort by Dineth Kaushalya, Sameera Sandaruwan, Gayath Mendis, Isuru Gunasekera, Nuwan Nayana Kumara and Isuru Perera helped Peoples Leasing to go pass Commercial Credit’s score of 229. Earlier two half tons by Shalith de Silva and Anura Dias for Commercial Credit went down the drain as its bowlers failed to defend a reasonable score.
