Chaturanga de Silva pummels Kandy to headline Colombo Cricket Club win

Batting first, Kandy Customs dusted out for 155 in 35.5 overs courtesy of a scintillating four-fer by Colombo Cricket Club spinner Chaturanga de Silva (4/31). Vishwa Fernando (2/33) and Lakshan Sandakan (2/26) also picked up two wickets each in the innings alongside Sonal Dinusha (1/14) and Dhananjaya de Silva (1/4).

In response, Colombo Cricket Club batters chased down their 156-run target with five wickets and more than 26 overs to spare. After the early dismissals of opener Lasith Croospulle and number three Pawan Pathiraja, middle-order batters Sonal Dinusha and Chamindu Wijesinghe belted majestic half-centuries in their unbroken 87-run partnership.
