Madushka’s dogged innings of 183 took 343 balls and included 13 boundaries as he partnered with Chamindu Wijesinghe to put on 157 runs for the seventh wicket.
Resuming from their overnight score of 156-4, CCC went on to make a formidable score of 404 for the loss of nine wickets before declaring. Wijesinghe contributed with 72 runs, while supporting Madushka all the way. Bloomfield, in their turn faced 2.3 overs and lost a wicket on five runs when the match was stopped due to bad light.

An unbeaten knock of 120 by Wanuja Sahan helped Ace Capital end the second day’s play on 288-9 in reply to NCC’s first innings score of 333 at the SSC ground. Skipper Dunith Wellalage was unfortunate to miss out well deserved a ton by a run, as he got together with Dinesh Chandimal to help Colts end the second day on 239-6 in reply to Police SC’s first innings score of 317 at Sooriyawewa.
Nugegoda S&WC have already taken a first inning lead over Chilaw Marians at the NCC ground while BRC was sitting pretty against Kurunegala Youth in the match played at the Surrey Village ground in Maggona. All matches will continue today.
