- Thurstan had the Isipathana struggling at 87 for 5 at lunch one the 1st day and they recovered due to gritty knock by their Capt to score 221,
- Thurstan were 91 fro 2 at close of play, but could not make any headway on the 2nd day & was all out for 168 by lunch. But Isipathans’s ace spinner Anushka Samaratunga was only able to capture 1 wicket, but now hold the Schoolboy for highest number of wickets for a season with 141 wickets.
- Isipathana batted till few minutes after tea and declared at 135 for 5 and gave Thurstan to score 189 runs in 34 overs, which was a very sporting declaration.
- But they never bargained for the run chase where Thurstan scored 175 for 3 with 5.2 overs remaining to score 14 runs when umpires called off at 1804 h for bad light. But the irony was Isipathana were never warned for the slow over rate by the umpires where they bowled 19 overs prior to the mandatory overs in 90 min & only bowled 9.2 overs in the mandatory period in 54 min. IT WAS CASE YET SO CLOSE BUT STILL SO FAR.
- Openers Udara Munasinghe [ 74 ], Supun Navaratna [ 65 ] broke the 1st wicket record established in 1972 by Diyanesh Rajaratnaem & Jayantha de Silva by associating in a partnership of 123 runs scored in only 102 min
