There were fewer results in this week’s round and those that were completed were more narrow victories than we have seen recently. The most comprehensive victory was Galle’s innings and 13 run beating of Kalutara Town which saw Galle move up to 7th place.
If high scoring draws are your thing, your fixture of this
weekend’s round would have been Police Sports Club versus Ragama. The Police
sit 5 places below Ragama and would have been happier for the draw. This can be
seen in the batting of Heshan Dhanuskha who batted his hear tout for his 233 –
the third highest individual score of the tournament. The tournament’s leading
run-scorer, Nishan Madushka, also didn’t disappoint as he put on 125 in the
first inning and 82 in the second. He has now scored 925 at an average of 185.
This is 324 more runs than anybody else.
Not a round seems to go by without someone bagging an
eight-fer. This time out it was the turn of Sonal Dinusha who got his in the
drawn match between Colombo and Moors. This was another drawn match between the
sides that are first and second in Group A. Whilst the game is officially down
as a draw, Moors needed just 8 more runs to claim the victory with two wickets
in hand before time run out.
The top wicket taker Kaumal Nanayakkara got 6 more wickets
to take his total to 42 at an average of 13.78.
