If this tournament is catching the eye of the national selectors,
it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Ashan Priyanjan could put his
name in the frame for a national call-up. He last turned out in national
colours in 2017 but is tearing up this tournament. He registered his second
6-fer of the tournament today as Colombo beat Negombo by 7 wicket with 157
balls remaining. Priyanjan was the major reason why Negombo were all out for a
mere 132 runs. This takes his tournament total to 25 @ 6.00.
It has been a chaotic week for Negombo. Prior to their big
loss today, they registered an equally impressive win in Sunday’s round of
games. After putting on 242-8 in their 50 overs, they shot down the Sri Lankan
Air Service for a paltry 73. It is the 4th largest margin of victory
in terms of runs in the competition. Notable other results in this tranche of games
are Colts 9 wicket win against Nugegoda where they needed just 19 overs to
chase down 151 and Moors bowling Badureliya for a mere 88.
Away from humiliations, Gitansh Kera got the tournament’s
highest score in Police Sports Clubs 153 run win over Lankan. Gitnash registered
167 runs in 133 balls. The runs were much needed as he came in with his team on
11-2 but his second handed effort saw the Police put on 298. It has been a
tawdry spell of games for the tournament’s highest run scorer, Kasun Vidra, who
has scored 10 runs in the last 2 games. He still manages to hold on to top spot
but has 2 players who have just breached 400 runs who are going to push him
hard unless his form changes.
