Another random weekday double header.
In the early game, a strong bowling performance for Colombo was not backed up by their batsmen. After limiting Dambulla to a reachable 175 - they collapsed to 147. Andre Russell will be disappointed that his bowling figures of 2-0-18-3 were not rewarded.
In the second game, Thisara Perera had another stormer. After 97 yesterday, he got 68 today to continue Jaffna's very impressive start to the tournament.
Jaffna are first whilst Colombo keep hold of second despite today's loss.
