BSC-CIS clash for Sohail Memorial Trophy today
The British School in Colombo (BSC) will look to retain the Hasan Sohail Memorial Trophy when they take on the traditional rivals Colombo International School (CIS) in their annual limited overs cricket encounter at the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation ground in Nawala today.
The BSC are the current holders of the Hasan Sohail Memorial Trophy after they edged out CIS by one run in a thrilling match played last year at the same venue. On that occasion the BSC piled up 183 for the loss of three wickets in 25 overs after they were invited to bat first and then restricted CIS to 182-4 in 25 overs.
This rivalry between the BSC and CIS began in 2023 with a Twenty20 match, where CIS claimed victory at the same venue. However, the 2024 encounter was washed out due to bad weather. Lesith Semika will lead the CIS team while Thisath Ganegoda will captain the BSC.
