\"BATTLE<\/p>\n

Due to national commitments, St. Joseph\u2019s missed the services of their <\/span>star skipper Dunith Wellalage, batsman Shevon Daniel and wicket-<\/span>keeper batsman Sadeesh Jayawardene, while the Peterites did not<\/span><\/p>\n

receive permission from Sri Lanka Cricket to field all-rounder Wanuja <\/span>Sahan. Rain also marred play on both days.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 87th Battle of the Saints ended in a tame draw, in favour of St. <\/span>Joseph’s College. The rain delayed big match was played at SSC grounds <\/span>on Monday, December 13th & Tuesday, December 14th sans spectators <\/span>due to Covid-19 protocols. The first innings is restricted to 60 overs <\/span>which is standard procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nMatch Report<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDay-1:<\/strong> St. Peter’s skipper Nipunaka Fonseka won the toss and elected to field first. St. Joseph\u2019s College got off <\/span>to a super start when the two left-handed openers, stand-in Captain Sheran Fonseka and Yesith Rupasinghe, <\/span>added 120 runs for the first wicket. Both Fonseka and Rupasinghe had no problem in negating the Peterite <\/span>bowling as they scored 52 and 57 respectively. Fonseka was the first to be dismissed when he was caught <\/span>plumb in front for a 93-ball 52 by off-spinner Chamelkar De Silva. Fonseka\u2019s elegant knock had 4 fours. In the <\/span>very next over, Rupasinghe played a reverse-sweep but missed it completely as off-spinner Niman Umesh <\/span>picked up his first scalp. Rupasinghe top-scored with a 85-ball 57 with 6 fours. Batting at number three, young <\/span>Hiran Jayasundara played with utmost confidence to hold the inexperienced Josephian middle order. He <\/span>remained unbeaten on 49. Mithira Thenura made a 18-ball 20, while Keneth Sasmina Liyanage and Shenuka <\/span>De Silva made 12 and 21 respectively to steer St. Joseph\u2019s to the driving seat. Umesh was the pick of the bowlers <\/span>for the Peterites, picking up 3 for 55, bowling 16 overs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day-2:<\/strong> Action on day two began at 10.30 am, with the scheduled start being delayed by an hour due to the wet <\/span>outfield. First day\u2019s play was brought to an end around 2.00 pm due to heavy showers, with the Josephians <\/span>sitting pretty on 233 for 6. The boys from Darley Road managed to add 28 more runs to their overnight score <\/span>with overnight batter Hiran Jayasundara reaching a well-deserved half-century.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peterites started their reply cautiously, having lost fresher Vishen Halambage early in the innings. Opening <\/span>Shenal Boteju continued to lose partners as the Josephian spinners bowled brilliantly in conditions which <\/span>favoured spin bowling. St. Peter’s were 119 for 4 at one stage, but they lost their last 6 wickets for just 19 runs <\/span>and folded for a paltry 138 runs with a deficit of 123 runs. Boteju was the most impressive batsman for St. <\/span>Peter’s, scoring 62 off 149 balls with 4 fours. Apart from Boteju, no other player reached 20 runs for St. Peter\u2019s <\/span>College. The off-spin duo of Shenuka De Silva and Lahiru Amarasekara took 3 wickets apiece.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a session left, the Josephians enforced the follow-on. In the first ball of the Peterite second innings, <\/span>Halambage was dismissed. However, Boteju and No.3 Lahiru Dawatage consolidated the innings till stumps <\/span>were drawn. The two were associated in a partnership of 43 runs for the second wicket. After Boteju fell for <\/span>23, Dawatage was joined by Skipper Nipunaka Fonseka as they scored 39 unbroken runs for the 3rd wicket <\/span>before bad-light ended the game in the last hour.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Peterites retained the Maurice Le Goc Challenge Trophy having last won it in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two teams will battle it out once again on Thursday, December 16 at SSC grounds in the 47th limited-overs<\/span>
