Chamindu guides Anthonians to beat Thomians

All-rounder Chamindu Wickramasinghe made a fine performance as St. Anthony’s, Kantugastota, notched up an easy seven-wicket victory over S. Thomas’ Mt Lavinia in their Under-19 Inter-School Limited-Over fixture played at Mt Lavinia yesterday.

Thomians put in to bat first were not able to make a challenging total and they were skittled out for 116 in 38.1 overs with Mahith Perera (33) and Romesh Mendis (31) made useful knocks but that was not enough to build a good total in a game which reduced to 40 over per side due to wet ground conditions.

The paceman Chamindu Wickramasinghe produced impressive figures of 4 for 14 in his 7.1-over spell to remove Thomians. Anthonians chasing their target of 117 runs made an easy win with a loss of only three wickets in 18.2 overs. Once again Chamindu, the national under 19 all-rounder came to the front with scoring an elegant knock of unbeaten 69 in 43 balls with 10 fours and 2 sixes, also added superb 88 runs unbroken fourth-wicket stand with Asitha Wanninayake who scored 24 with 2 fours.
