Vain effort by Sasitha Ashan

Batting first visitors were all out for 127 runs with Sudeera Weerarathne claiming 5 for 50 runs and in reply Devapathiraja were shot out for a paltry 78 runs. In their second essay Gurukula declared at 186 for 6 with Rashmika Mevan and Nilusha Heshan scoring 54 and 52 runs respectively. Set to make 236 runs for an outright victory at stumps homesters were 112 for 3 with Jeewaka Shasheen unbeaten on 63 runs.
