- BY SA'ADI THAWFEEQ

SLC Greens led by Kamindu Mendis documented their third win in as many matches beating a hapless SLC Blues by 72 runs at the SSC grounds yesterday to enter the final of the SLC T20 League with a game in hand.

For the SLC Blues it was their third successive defeat and it has virtually put them out of the contest. Their only outside hope of qualifying for the final is for SLC Greys, the third team in the tournament loses both their remaining two matches, one of which is against them tomorrow.

SLC Blues had only themselves to blame for the defeat, they had SLC Greens at their mercy at 57-5 in the ninth over, but allowed them to recover and post a total of 158-6. When it came to their turn to bat SLC Blues lacked the intent to chase down the total and folded up for a paltry 86 off 15 overs.
