Sachitha steers Colombo to 71 run win over Galle
SLC National Super League 50 over tournament
Sachitha Jayathilake’s half-century scripted Team Colombo’s comprehensive 71-run win over team Galle in the 15th match of the SLC National Super League 50 over tourney worked off at SSC ground, Colombo yesterday.
Put into bat first, Colombo posted 225 runs on the back of cameos from Sachitha Jayathilake, Sithara Gimhana and Dushan Vimukthi. In reply, Team Galle was bundled out for 154 runs.
Earlier, Team Colombo didn’t have the best of starts to their innings as they were reduced to 4-72. With wickets falling at one end Sithara Gimhana launched a lone cameo with a 45 ball 44, but ultimately the pressure got to him and he departed in the 14th over.
In some sort of trouble, Colombo looked to rebuild their innings, with Ahen Bandara and Dushan Vimukthi slowly building 30 run partnership for the fifth wicket. But their partnership was cut short by Tilanga Udeshana when he struck to trap Ashen Bandara (19) LBW in the 22nd over to pin Colombo further down.
At one stage it looked like Colombo would have to settle for a below-par score of between 150-200, but a 92-run partnership between Sachitha Jayathilake and Dushan Vimukthi saw them gradually regaining momentum.
Sachitha was the hero top scoring with a watchful 74 ball 58 runs including 5 boundaries and 2 sixes, while Dushan contributed 46 to help their team go past the 200 run mark.
The duo showed great maturity and composure, playing sensibly and punishing any loose deliveries until Sachitha bit the dust when Milan Rathnayake got the breakthrough in the 42nd over.
His partner Dushan too failed to hang on as he fell short of a well-deserved half-century when Milan Rathnayake once again delivered to turn things around.
With the scoreboard reading 200-7, Isitha Dew Wijesundara laid the final touches from down the order with a quickfire 16 runs, smashing a boundary and a six to help the team post a defendable 225 runs before they were bowled out in 48 overs.
Milan Rathnayake shone with the ball claiming 4-37, while Kavishka Anjula and Tilanga Udeshana chipped in with two wickets each.
In reply, Team Galle lost the plot from the get-go and was bundled out for 154 runs inside 39.4 overs. None of the batters threatened the Colombo bowlers and none were able to go past at least the 30-run mark.
National team discard Akila Dananjaya top scored with a fighting 27 runs from down the order, but lack of support from the recognized batters saw them fall well short of the target.
Dushan Vimukthi and Nuwan Pradeep went through the Galle batting line up picking up three wickets each, while Udith Madushan bagged two.
Dambulla edge Kandy by 1 wicket
Meanwhile, in another match between Team Dambulla and Team Kandy, an all-round performance helped Team Dambulla register a thrilling 1-wicket win at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium.

SLC தேசிய சூப்பர் லீக் 50 ஓவர் போட்டி
SLC தேசிய சுப்பர் லீக் 50 ஓவர் போட்டியின் 15வது போட்டியில் சச்சித ஜயதிலக்கவின் அரைசதத்தால் கொழும்பு அணி 71 ஓட்டங்களால் காலி அணியை வீழ்த்தியது.
முதலில் துடுப்பெடுத்தாடிய கொழும்பு, சச்சித ஜயதிலக்க, சித்தர கிம்ஹன மற்றும் துஷான் விமுக்தி ஆகியோரின் சிறப்பான ஆட்டத்தால் 225 ஓட்டங்களைப் பெற்றது. பதிலுக்கு துடுப்பெடுத்தாடிய காலி அணி 154 ஓட்டங்களுக்கு சுருண்டது.
முன்னதாக, கொழும்பு அணி 4-72 என்று குறைக்கப்பட்டதால், அவர்களின் இன்னிங்ஸில் சிறந்த தொடக்கங்கள் இல்லை. ஒரு முனையில் விக்கெட்டுகள் சரிந்த நிலையில், சித்தர கிம்ஹானா 45 பந்தில் 44 ரன்களுடன் ஒரு தனி கேமியோவைத் தொடங்கினார், ஆனால் இறுதியில் அவருக்கு அழுத்தம் கிடைத்தது மற்றும் 14 வது ஓவரில் அவர் வெளியேறினார்.
ஒருவித சிக்கலில், கொழும்பு அணி தனது இன்னிங்ஸை மீண்டும் கட்டியெழுப்ப முயன்றது, அஹேன் பண்டார மற்றும் துஷான் விமுக்தி ஆகியோர் ஐந்தாவது விக்கெட்டுக்கு மெதுவாக 30 ரன் பார்ட்னர்ஷிப்பை உருவாக்கினர். ஆனால் 22வது ஓவரில் அஷேன் பண்டாரவை (19) எல்பிடபிள்யூவில் சிக்க வைத்து கொழும்பை மேலும் கீழிறக்க திலங்க உதேசனாவால் அவர்களது பார்ட்னர்ஷிப் துண்டிக்கப்பட்டது.
ஒரு கட்டத்தில், கொழும்பு 150-200க்கு குறைவான ஸ்கோரைத் தீர்த்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்று தோன்றியது, ஆனால் சச்சித ஜயதிலக்க மற்றும் துஷான் விமுக்தி ஆகியோருக்கு இடையேயான 92 ரன் கூட்டாண்மை அவர்கள் படிப்படியாக வேகத்தை மீட்டெடுத்தது.
சச்சிதா 74 பந்துகளில் 5 பவுண்டரிகள் மற்றும் 2 சிக்ஸர்கள் அடங்கலாக 58 ஓட்டங்களைப் பெற்று நாயகனாக முதலிடத்தில் இருந்தார், அதேவேளை துஷான் 46 ஓட்டங்களைப் பெற்று தமது அணியை 200 ஓட்டங்களைக் கடக்க உதவினார்.
42 வது ஓவரில் மிலன் ரத்நாயக்க திருப்புமுனையைப் பெற்றபோது சச்சிதா தூசியை கடிக்கும் வரை இருவரும் மிகுந்த முதிர்ச்சியையும் நிதானத்தையும் வெளிப்படுத்தினர், புத்திசாலித்தனமாக விளையாடினர்.
மிலன் ரத்நாயக்க மீண்டும் ஒருமுறை ஆட்டத்தை மாற்றியமைத்த போது அவரது பங்குதாரரான துஷானும் தகுந்த அரைசதத்தை பெற முடியாமல் தோல்வியடைந்தார்.
ஸ்கோர்போர்டு 200-7 ஆக இருந்த நிலையில், இசித டியூ விஜேசுந்தரா 48 ஓவர்களில் ஆட்டமிழக்க முன், அணி 225 ரன்களை பாதுகாக்க உதவ, 16 ரன்கள் எடுத்து, ஒரு பவுண்டரி மற்றும் ஒரு சிக்சருடன் இறுதித் தொடுதல்களை வழங்கினார்.
மிலன் ரத்நாயக்க பந்து வீச்சில் 4-37 என பிரகாசிக்க, கவிஷ்க அஞ்சுல மற்றும் திலங்க உதேசன ஆகியோர் தலா இரண்டு விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தினர்.
பதிலுக்கு துடுப்பெடுத்தாடிய காலி அணி ஆரம்பத்திலேயே சதியை இழந்து 39.4 ஓவர்களில் 154 ஓட்டங்களுக்குச் சுருண்டது. துடுப்பாட்ட வீரர்கள் எவரும் கொழும்பு பந்துவீச்சாளர்களை அச்சுறுத்தவில்லை மற்றும் எவராலும் குறைந்தபட்சம் 30 ஓட்டங்களைக் கடக்க முடியவில்லை.
தேசிய அணி 27 ரன்களுடன் போராடி 27 ரன்களுடன் அதிகபட்சமாக அகில தனஞ்சயவை நிராகரித்தது, ஆனால் அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்ட பேட்டர்களின் ஆதரவு இல்லாததால் அவர்கள் இலக்கை விட மிகவும் குறைவாக வீழ்ந்தனர்.
காலி துடுப்பாட்ட வரிசையில் துஷான் விமுக்தி மற்றும் நுவான் பிரதீப் ஆகியோர் தலா 3 விக்கெட்டுக்களையும், உதித் மதுஷன் 2 விக்கெட்டுகளையும் கைப்பற்றினர்.
தம்புள்ளை கண்டி அணியை 1 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் வீழ்த்தியது
இதேவேளை, தம்புள்ளை அணிக்கும் கண்டி அணிக்குமிடையிலான மற்றுமொரு போட்டியில், ஆர்.பிரேமதாச சர்வதேச கிரிக்கெட் மைதானத்தில் நடைபெற்ற போட்டியில் தம்புள்ளை அணி 1 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் த்ரில் வெற்றியை பதிவு செய்ய சகலதுறை ஆட்டமும் உதவியது.
சுருக்கமான மதிப்பெண்கள்:
SSC இல்
கொழும்பு: 225 ஆல் அவுட் (48) (சச்சித ஜயதிலகே 58, துஷான் விமுக்தி 46, சித்தர கிம்ஹான 44, மிலன் ரத்நாயக்க 4-37, கவிஷ்க அஞ்சுலா 2-54, திலங்க உதேசன 2-45)
