North Central Province (NCP) pulled off a stunning 7-wicket victory over Central Province (CP) with a day to spare yesterday at the NCC grounds in an Inter-Provincial Cricket Tournament match.

Wijekoon capped his bowling performance by leading the way with the bat with a top score of 32 in his side's triumph.
