30 Oct 2018

By Ishani Upatharitha Two sterling batting performances by opening batsmen Dhananjaya Lakshan and lower-order batsman Dushan Hemantha, and a fine bowling spell by Avindu Theekshana guided debutants MAS Intimates Silueta to a comprehensive 168-run win over Dimo in the 26th Singer-MCA Premier League ‘Knock-out’ Tournament Final at the MCA Grounds, Colombo on Sunday, 28 October.

Dushan Hemantha’s cameo of 82 runs in 65 balls, inclusive of five sixes and five fours, also helped MAS to reach the big total. Power bating by Dushan and Charana – MAS Silueta accelerated scoring in their last 10 overs when Dushan Hemantha and Charana Nanayakkara (47 in 30 balls with 4 sixes and 2 fours) put on 90 runs in 53 balls for the eighth-wicket. Dimo started their run chase in fine fettle as their openers, Nipun Karunanayake (42 in 57 balls with 6 fours) and Charitha Kumarasinghe (35 in 25 balls with 6 sixes and 3 fours) were engaged in a 72-run stand in 75 balls. The partnership ended when Angelo Emmanuel, in his very first over, took a brilliant ‘caught-and-bowl dismissal’ do remove Charitha Kumarasinghe.

Avindu Theekshana continued to demolish the strong Dimo batting line-up to finish with tournament’s best figures of 9.2-1-42-7. Dimo were thus bowled out for 151 in 27.2 overs.
