Under 19 inter-schools cricket Sithmal, Ayesh shines in Ananda’s win

By M. Shamil Amit

An all-round performance by Kithma Sithmal and a six-wicket haul by Isuru Ayesh helped Ananda College record an outright win by six wickets against Zahira College Colombo in the Under 19 inter-school cricket encounter played at Ananda Mawatha.

A fine knock of 119 by Sonal Awadika and a match bag of 11 for 93 by Hansaja Brian paved the way for Holy Cross College Kalutara to coast to a comfortable innings win over Sri Devananda MV Ambalangoda in another match played at Kalutara while Piliyandala Central and Sri Pagnananda MMV Raddoluwa, after conceding first innings leads to Bandaranayake MV Gampaha and Loyola College Kochchikade, came back to pull off outright wins.

The other matches played ended in first innings wins for St. Joseph’s, Maris Stella Negombo and Lumbini MV.
