over Chilaw Marinas SC at R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday (9).
Thushara took a match-bag of ten wickets for 86, six for 50 in

Chilaw, especially in the second innings where they were bowled
out for a low 114 giving SSC an easy victory target of 96 on the

Komasaru in the Moors second innings paved the way for a vital
NCC win on Sunday.
