SLC Major Club 50-Over Tournament
LAST year’s losing finalist CCC, Colts, and Tamil Union won their final group matches played yesterday to join Police SC in the semifinals of the SLC Major Club 50-Over Tournament.
Tamil Union inflicted on Police SC their first defeat of the ongoing tournament when they beat them by seven wickets in a crucial group match played at the Police Grounds yesterday.
The win by Tamil Union saw them tie on 8 points each with NCC, but Tamil Union, with a better net run rate, finished second to Police SC in Group A and thus qualified for a place in the semifinals. The match winners for Tamil Union were spinners Tharindu Rathnayake (4/34), Vijayakanth Viyaskanth (3/27), and Vihas Thewmika (2/31), who bowled Police SC out for 144 in a 42-over game. In Tamil Union's reply, former Sri Lanka Under-19 skipper Sineth Jayawardena hit a 56-ball 87 (7 fours, 7 sixes) and shared an opening stand of 106 with Isivara Dissanayake (22) to put the contest beyond doubt, winning with 132 balls to spare.
CCC came up with a powerful batting performance to beat Nugegoda SWC by seven wickets under the DLS method at the CCC Grounds.
