Re: Major Clubs Limited Over Tournament
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2022 3:56 pmTamil Union pulled off a surprise win over the Sri Lankan Army in a rain affected match to lift the Sri Lankan Major Clubs Limited Overs Tournament Trophy.
Even though their chase was marred by two bouts of rain, Tamil Union were the worthy winners after they had the Sri Lankan Army 84-6 within the first 20 overs. The Army then rallied to 198 all out one ball short of their allocated overs. Tamil’s star man was Santhush Gunathilake whose 3-14 encompassed three of the top 4 batters. With the first shorter period of rain knocking the game down to 46 overs, Tamil Union ended up needing 153 in 37 overs and reached it with great comfort.
Despite not reaching the knock out stages, Kasun Vidura’s 631 @ 63.1 was enough to see him lead the run scorers. Similarly Burgher’s Divindu Tillakaratne’s 36 wickets @ 9.55 sees him as the best bowler of the tournament.
