Rajans - Kingswood ends in a draw
by S. M. Jiffrey Abdeen - Kandy Sports Corr.
The 102nd Kandy's "Battle of the Maroons" between Kingswood College
and Dharmaraja College ended in a draw for the 28th successive year at
the Asgiriya Stadium in Kandy yesterday.
Rajans who were set a victory target of 142 in 15 overs, were nowhere
towards the target being 40 for 1 when bad light stopped play when the
10th over was in progress.
Earlier the Kingswoodians through some intelligent bowling dismissed
the Rajans for 201 after being 85 for 1 overnight.
Rajans skipper Bunwaneka Ekanayake top scored with a hard hit 72 with
2 sixes and 8 fours off 92 balls which earned him the Man of the Match
award.
Off spinner Chalitha Dharmaprema was the pick of the Kingswood
bowlers taking 4 for 52 while Anuradha Hettige and Prasad Senanayake
picked up two wickets each.
