Nondescripts Cricket Club still have an outside chance of qualifying for the semi finals of the Premier League Limited Overs Tournament after defeating Sebastianites at Maitland Place today. They now have seven points and need Galle to defeat CCC and for them to defeat Panadura tomorrow. A tense day of cricket awaits us tomorrow.
Sebastianites had started the season in promising form when they became unexpected champions of the Under 23 competition. However, they have had a disappointing one-day tournament. Today, they struggled from the beginning.
They lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Despite a fine 51 from 110 balls by Warushamana they were bowled out for just 130 runs in 43.5 overs. Warushamana was the only batsmen to impress - the next highest score was 18 by Peiris - and he was the last wicket to fall.
With the exception of Ravindra Pushpakmara and Tillakaratne, all the bowlers chipped in. Bandara, Ganegama and Amarasingha picked up two wickets apiece and Russel Arnold took three wickets with his off spin.
After an interruption for rain, NCC were required to score 115 from 35 overs. They scored the runs with ease and lost only one wicket. Kumar Sangakkara led the way with 56 from 62 balls. He was well supported by Nawaz who scored 36.
