Niroshan Bandarathileke bowled excellently to capture 3 wickets for just 15 runs in his 10 overs. He was ably supported by R. Jayaratne and B. Jeganathan, who chipped in with 3 wickets apiece.
In reply, Tamil Union lost just 2 wickets. R. Peries top scored with 42 from 63 balls, including 5 boundaries, while G. Wijekoon helped himself to 39 in 65 balls.
