S M Jiffrey Abdeen, Kandy Sports Corr
Rain stood in the way of a Vidyartha College win when over four hours
of play was lost in their inter-school cricket match against St Thomas
College, Kotte which ended in a draw at the Open Prison Camp Ground,
Pallekele yesterday.
Kotte Thomians in reply to Vidyartha's total of 325 resuming from
their overnight score of 72 for 1 were dismissed for 148 despite a
valiant knock of 84 with seven fours, one six off 129 balls by R
Kulatunga.
Following on 115 runs behind the Thomians were struggling at 120 for
6, when rain stopped play
Vidyartha College: 325 all out
St Thomas, Kotte: 148 all out in 48.2 overs (R Kulatunga 84, Kavinda
Yohan 49, A Rajapakse 20, P Rukshan 20, Isuru Weerasinghe 3 for 33,
Tilina Rupasena 3 for 43) and 120 for 6 in 25 overs (R Kulatunga 17, B A
Ebert 29, D A Ebert 54, Tharindu Ranaweera 3 for 36).
