Moors Stun Tamil Union by 44 runs

Sri Lanka Cricket

SLC MAJOR LEAGUE TIER ‘A’ PLATE CHAMPIONSHIP

Moors SC beat Tamil Union by 44 runs in their Plate Championship match on the third and final day at the Tyronne Fernando Stadium, Moratuwa on Tuesday. Chasing a victory target of 200, Tamil Union C &AC, who were overnight 20 for 1, caved in for 156. Overly, Tamil Union batsmen lacked the cohesive mechanism to reach what was a modest target having needed to get 180 runs on the final day with all their wickets intact when play commenced. In that scenario, full marks to the Moors SC bowlers in running through the opposition with strike bowler Praveen Jayawickrama turning out to be toast of the Moors camp following his match winning 6 for 91 haul for a match bag of 11 for 144. A highest score of 30 by skipper Tharanga Paranavitana reflected the inability of the cream of the batting to come good. When Sri Lanka batsman Dhananjaya de Silva, the top scorer with 95 in the first innings was dismissed for 4 the writing was on the wall for Moors with late order batsman Suranga Lakmal using the long handle hammering 5 sixes in top scoring with 40 off 20 balls.
