Malika Vithanage dropped anchor with an unbeaten knock of 86 runs and put on a vital 91 runs stand for the fifth wicket with Vathila Udara as Trinity kept alive their chances against Royal on day two of the long-delayed Under 19 Division I tournament semifinal at Ambepussa on Tuesday.

Malika drops anchor as Trinity fight back

This semifinal of the 2024-2025 season had to be rescheduled after Mahanama sought legal action against the decision taken by Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association to award the disputed quarterfinal between Mahanama and Trinity to the latter.

An official of SLSCA said that the authorities of both parties had agreed to go ahead with the SLSCA's plan.

In reply to Royal's 331, Trinity were precariously placed at 52 for three and 86 for four wickets before Vithanage steadied the ship.
