Thurstan Comfortable winners in the 31st Encounter
Thurstan skipper Thisura Madurappereuma once again called correctly when the Chief-Guest Nimal Warusavithana tossed the coin.
The Chief Guest donated the trophy in memory of his father W A de Silva and this encounter commenced way back in 1981.
Isipathana put into bat were bundled out for their lowest total in this series for 92 runs in 35.2 overs in this 45 over match. The spiners led by the left armer orthodox spinner Sachintha Wijesinghe ably supported by Sachith Dias & Probadha Arthavidu had all the Isipthana batmen in knots & never gave the opportunity to get on top of the varied spin attack. They were helped by slow turning wickets
Isipathana also commenced the bowling with their best spinners Sulochana & Wanigaratchchi with an attcking field set by skipper Warapitiya made life difficult to the Thurstanites and one stage Thurstan were in trouble with the score reading 41 for 4.
At this stage Skipper Madurapperuma went on the attack scoring 25 runs with 1 six & 4 fours which relieved the pressure and the next pair of Kaveen Silva & Ashan Wanigaratna scored the remaing runs to steer Thurstan to a comfortable victory.
Thus Thurstan lead the series for the first time in the history with 16 matches to Isipathana’s 15.
