Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament 2024: Most runs and Most wickets after Kandy Customs vs Colombo Cricket Club (Updated) ft. Chaturanga de Silva

The 41st match of the 2024 Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament (MCLOT) saw the Colombo Cricket Club register a resounding five-wicket win over the Kandy Customs at the Trinity College Ground, Colombo.

Customs won the toss and elected to bat first, a decision that backfired immediately as they were bundled out for a paltry 155 in 35.5 overs. Thevindu Dickwell (20), Sadishan Chamodya (28) and Salindu Pathirana (41) were the highest run scorers in a sorry-looking Kandy scorecard. Chaturanga de Silva (4/31) helped the Colombo Cricket Club restrict the Kandy Customs to a below-par score.

In reply, contributions from Sonal Dinusha (51* off 38) and Chamindu Wijesinghe (55* off 54) ensured that the Colombo-based franchise won the game in emphatic fashion, with five wickets and more than 25 overs to spare. Dinusha hit six fours and one six in his 51-run knock, while Wijesinghe hit seven boundaries and a six in his innings. Usman Ishak (3/36) was the highest wicket-taker for the Kandy Customs but in vain.
