Isipathana College took major honours, but failed to give the
finishing touches to a game that would have gone in their favour in
their 50th cricket encounter against Thurstan which ended in a draw at
the SSC grounds yesterday.
Isipathana dominated the proceedings for a good length of the two day
encounter enforcing Thurstan to follow on. In reply to Isipathana’s 256
in the first innings, Thurstan were dismissed for 138. Kavindu
Kulasekera 34, Ramindu Kumarasinghe 26 and Thimira Jayasinghe 22 the
main contributors towards the Thurstanite total. Kelum Bastiansz (4 for
45) and Chameera Dissanayake (3 for 19) bowled best for Thurstan.
Thurstan were made to follow - on around 11.45 am with a deficit of
118 and were given a reasonable start by their openers Milhaj Jaleel
(28) and Thrindu Silva (29) who put on 61 runs and another third wicket
stand of 42 by Kavindu Kulasekera and Chaarana Nanayakkara.
By tea Thurstan had just wiped the follow on mark of 118 for 3
wickets facing 39 overs. Resolute batting by Charana Nanayakkara 39 and
a fine unbeaten 62 by Thimira Jayasinghe facing ninety two deliveries
kept Isipathana at bay. The match was stopped around 6.00 pm due to bad
light with six overs still remaining.
