He got together with Manula Wijeratne to put on an unbroken stand of 55 runs for the second wicket enabling them to race to the target in just 11.2 overs.
A top knock of 104 runs by Pramidith Navanjana paved the way for Rahula College, Matara to record a comfortable 112-run win against St. John’s College, Panadura at Uyanwatte in Matara. Revatha MV Balapitiya, Loyola College Kochchikade, Siddhartha Central Balapitiya, St. Mary’s Kegalle and Hindu College, Colombo won their matches.
