Jatila KARAWITA
Captain Angelo Perera’s impressive figures of 6 for 93 for St.

highlight on day two as their annual inter-school cricket encounter
petered into a high-scoring draw at Bambalapitiya last evening.
St. Peter’s earlier resuming from an overnight 135 for 4, did well
through solid contributions from the middle-order to pile-up a
challenging first-innings total of 319 all out.
For Royal Maneesha Thanthirigoda bowled best to claim 4 for 138.
Trailing by 44 runs on the first-innings Royal in their second-essay
were bowled out for 261 with top-order bat Bhanuka Rajapakse top scoring
with 66. He was well supported by Haroon Mowjood who made 62.
