Petes encounter Devapathiraja

Under 19 Tier ‘B’ Cricket Quarter-Finals

Defending champions St. Peter’s College, Bambalapitiya will encounter Devapathiraja College Rathgama in the quarter-final of the Inter Schools Under 19 Division I Tier ‘B’ Limited Overs Cricket tournament at Wijerama Mawatha today.

The Petes captained by Nimuthu Gunawardane are the favourties as they fight to retain their unbeaten status in the tournament.

Unlike their opponents, Devapathiraja skippered by Sri Lanka Under 19 cap Jeewaka Shasheen reached the knockout phase as the fourth placed team in their group. But they have gone from strength to strength after that and will be eager to oust fancied Petes to secure a semi-final berth.
