An impressive all-round effort by Stephan de Silva helped the British College Colombo record a convincing eight wicket win over Belvoir College International in an inter-international school U-17, 30-over cricket match played at the Health ground on Saturday.
Having bowled out Belvoir College for 81 in the 26th over, the British School were in deep trouble having lost their openers when the score was on three, but  Stephan with a crafty half century (52 not out ) and Liam Shaugy with an unbeaten 24  helped them reach the target in the 13th over. His innings had six towering sixes.
Stephan also picked two wickets for eight runs with his off-spins.
