Rain hampers third day proceedings

By M. Shamil Amit

Colombo, Dec. 10 (Daily Mirror) - Rain hampered the third day's proceedings of the Major Club four-day final encounter between SSC and Police SC at the NCC ground.

The match got off to a late start due to a wet outfield from overnight rain, but only eight balls of play was possible as the umpires were forced to call off the match due to heavy rain.

No play was also possible on day two, and SSC, resuming from their overnight score of 250/3, added a further four runs before it was called off.

The match will continue tomorrow.

Result:

• At NCC

SSC (250/3 overnight) 254/3 (Avishka Fernando 107, Shevon Daniel 56, Nipun Dhananjaya 40, Kusal Mendis 29 n.o.) vs. Police SC
