Madushka, Udara help SLC Board XI make bold reply

27 Jan 2023 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}      

A fine knock of 150 in 158 balls with 24 boundaries and a six by Nishan Madushka and Lahiru Udara who made 93 in 85 balls with 13 boundaries and two sixes helped SLC Board XI resuming from their overnight score of 93 for 2 to make a bold reply of 355 for 9 declared against England Lions on day two in the warm-up match played at R. Premadasa Stadium.  
Madushka and Udara who joined together at the fall of the second wicket frustrated the England Lions bowlers as the pair put on a valuable 170 runs stand for the third wicket and the dismissal of the pair saw the home side losing their remaining seven wickets for the addition of 92 runs.
