Vain effort by Deshan

Dilwin Mendis - Moratuwa Sports Corr.

A match bag of 10 for 103 by Deshan Muthumala could not prevent Lumbini Vidyalaya, Colombo beating Revatha College, Balapitiya by 37 runs of first innings in their Inter-School under-19 cricket match worked off at BRC grounds.

Batting first Lumbini totalled 150 runs and in reply visitors were all out for a paltry 113 runs with Chamara Nshantha claiming 4 for 27 and in their second essay Lumbini made 165 runs with Shehan Shashika scoring 80 runs.

Lumbini: 150 (Janith Dias 20, Vimikthi Ellegoda 26, Thanuka Dabare 33 n.o., Deshan Muthumala 6/41, Shahan Madushanka 2/24) and 165 (Shehan Shashika 80, Vimukthi Ellegoda 36, Tharushan Iddamalgoda 20, Deshan Muthumala 4/62).

Revatha: 113 (Danush Lakmal 34, Chamara Nishantha 4/27, Mohomed Akram 3/7).
