Vidyartha force a draw

After being forced to follow on Vidyartha College fought back to hold St. Sylvesters College to a draw in their 54th "Battle of the Babes" concluded at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Resuming from their overnight score of 27 for 1 Vidyartha College were 102 for 3 at one stage but with the introduction of left arm spinner Nimesha Mendis into the attack wickets fell at regular intervals slumped to 126 for 8 before they were dismissed for 142.

Nimesha Mendis bowled extremely well to capture 6 for 38 to bring his season's tally to 89 wickets.

Following on 108 runs behind Vidyartha were 22 for 3 at one stage and defeated loomed at them. But a stubborn 98 run partnership between Tilina Rupasena (64 with 9 fours and 2 sexes off 86 balls) and Keshan Gamage (41 not out facing 139 balls and hitting 5 fours) saved them from defeat.
