Tamil Union secured their place in the semi final of the Premier League Limited Over tournament with a seven wicket victory against Singha CC, who were bowled out for just 112 in 39.2 overs.

Following a break for rain, Tamil Union were required to score 90 runs from 27 overs. They did this within 15 overs, but, bizarrely, the umpires continued playing the match, unaware that Tamil Union had won the match. Eventually the Tamil union coach phoned KT. Francis, Director of Umpiring, who then told the umpires that the match had ended.

Singha CC started the match in disastorous fashion. They lost the toss and were asked to bat first on the Oval pitch, which is notoriously lively in the opening half hour. Sure enough Singha lost early wickets and slumped to nine for three in the fourth over.

Things did not improve greatly. At one stage they were 56 for seven and looking at a humiliating defeat. However, a 33 run partnership between Rajapaksha (22) and Mirando (21) ensured that they reached three figures.

Despite losing both openers early on, Dias run out for seven and Shiroman caught behind off Mirando for a duck, Tamil Union cruised to victory thanks to cameo’s from Peiris (26), Rideegammanagedara (21*) and Chandana (20*).
