JOSEPHIANS WIN LIMITED-OVERS ENCOUNTER BY 85 RUNS \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/b>By: Upali Obeyesekere<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

47th Encounter – Battle of the Saints Series at SSC Grounds<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"JOSEPHIANSIt was during Rev. Fr. Claver Perera\u2019s tenure as Rector, St. Peter\u2019s College that <\/span>the limited overs cricket match between the Big Match rivals – St. Peter\u2019s College <\/span>and St. Joseph\u2019s College was launched. Played on the 16th of March in 1975 it <\/span>was the first such limited overs \u2018Big Match\u2019 among schools in Sri Lanka. St. Peter\u2019s <\/span>led by Bernard Wijetunga Jr. beat the Josephians led by Dushan Soza, in this <\/span>short format of cricket between the two schools.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Josephian-Peterite limited overs encounter earns the right to be called <\/span>the \u2018longest running Limited Over encounter in Sri Lanka among schools\u2019 and <\/span>played for the Rev. Fr. Peter A. Pillai trophy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 47th edition of this memorable encounter was played at the SSC grounds in <\/span>Colombo on Wednesday, December 16, 2021. The match ended in a decisive<\/span><\/span>
\nvictory for St. Joseph\u2019s over St. Peter\u2019s by 85 runs. St. Joseph\u2019s won the last two <\/span>encounters in 2018 and 2019. With this year\u2019s win the Josephians extended their wins in the Joe-Pete limited-overs <\/span>series to 24, while the Peterites have won on 20 occasions. Two matches ended without a result, while one game <\/span>ended in a tie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Given this background, St. Joseph\u2019s won the toss and elected to bat at the picturesque SSC grounds \u2013 a decision that<\/span>
\nproved right judging by the result. However, the start of the innings was wobbly when opener Yesith Rupasinghe<\/span>
\nflicked the ball to the safe hands of Peterite skipper Nipunaka Fonseka for a duck. Two balls later No.3 batsman Hirun<\/span>Kapurubandara was out lbw. Peterite pacer Danal Hemananda accounting for both wickets. Then came a 36-run<\/span>partnership between Skipper Sheran Fonseka, 18, and Hiran Jayasundara, 58, that consolidated the Josephian innings.<\/span>With Fonseka\u2019s departure Jayasundara was associated in a match winning partnership with Mithira Thenura, 52, for <\/span>101 runs in 163 balls. A cameo by Dinal Anuradha, 30, contributed to a commanding Josephian total of 200 runs in <\/span>49.1 overs. Bowling honours for the Peterites went to Chamelkar De Silva 2\/27 and Danal Hemananda 4\/30. <\/span><\/p>\n

St. Peter\u2019s also had a disastrous start losing three top order batsmen in quick succession. Chasing a target of 201 runs<\/span>
\nto win, opener Vishen Halambage, No.3 bat Lahiru Dawatage and Nimuthu Gunawardene were back in the pavilion<\/span>
\nwith three wickets down for 28 runs. The other Opener Shenal Boteju continued his form with the bat in the recently<\/span>
\nconcluded \u2018big match\u2019 with another solid innings of 48 runs off 59 balls. Boteju and Skipper Nipunaka Fonseka, 31,<\/span>
\nheld on for 69 balls but had little support from the other batsmen and St. Peter\u2019s folded for 115 runs in 35.2 Overs.<\/span>
\nLahiru Amarasekara spun a web round the Peterite batsmen with a splendid spell of five for 36 in 10 overs. Apart from <\/span>off-spinner Amarasekara\u2019s five-fer, Yesith Rupasinghe and Deshan Senevirathne picked up two wickets apiece.<\/span><\/p>\n
