Story extracted from ThePapare
The boys from the rock capital of Sri Lanka won the toss and put the visitors to bat first. Explosive opener, Thevindu Dickwella produced another blistering half-century at the top of the order and failed once again to convert it to a big-knock. No other batsman was able to get their act together as Isipathana settled to another painful 163. Vidath Batepola and Maduranga Naveen both bagged 4 wickets each.
Maliyadeva in reply, got off to a flying start though they lost the first wicket early. Supun Sumanarathna and Kaveen Bandara joined then and took Maliyadeva College to a commanding position. Both the batsmen brought up unbeaten centuries as Maliyadeva College were at 221 runs at the close of play.
