Thamindu century powers Richmond

Under 19 Cricket

by Reemus Fernando

A century by Thamindu Pradeeptha and a seven wicket haul by Ramiru Perera made for an intriguing first day’s play in the Under 19 Division I Tier ‘A’ tournament match between Richmond and Royal at Kadirana on Monday.

After deciding to bat first Pradeeptha scored 103 runs inclusive of 12 fours and three sixes for Richmond to post 299 runs.

Bowling the bulk of overs (24) for Royal, spinner Ramiru Perera grabbed seven wickets.

In the Tier ‘B’ tournament, Lumbini were in box seat as they restricted St. Joseph Vaz’s to 76 runs to enforce the follow on after posting 197 runs. Lumbini are the leading team in the Tier ‘B’ tournament.

In a traditional cricket encounter, Trinity were in trouble at Mount Lavinia as Nathan Caldera and Yatindra Siriwardene took five wickets each to rattle the visitors for 64 runs.
