April 24, 2025

DAMBULLA once again displayed their tenacity to fight it out when the odds are low, recovering from a hopeless 203-6 to top Jaffna's total of 418 and gaining a first innings points win to finish the league stage of the 4th National Super League 4-day tournament on a high in their match which concluded at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium yesterday.

- BY SA'ADI THAWFEEQ

Dambulla's match winner was their wicket-keeper/batsman Vishad Randika who scored a brilliant century (122 off 331 balls, 10 fours, 1 six) - his sixth in first-class cricket to deny Jaffna a win. Randika defied the nine bowlers used by Jaffna to unsettle him with a mixture of caution and aggression and built up two match-winning partnerships to see Dambulla finish on 470-8.
