A four wicket haul by Ravindu Fernando who was supported by Shiran Fernando and Dilum Sudeera laid the foundation for Tamil Union to record an easy five wicket win over Ragama CC in a low scoring encounter of the Major League limited over tournament played at P Sara Stadium.   

The trio combined to bowl out Ragama CC for a paltry score of 92 runs and Tamil Union in their run chase raced to the target with ease in the 16th over to chalk up their second win.   
Kandy Customs CC recorded their first win of the tournament with a comfortable 49 runs win over Ace Capital CC in another match played at the Pandura Esplanade.
