Nipun Karunanayake cracked a swashbuckling 120 and bagged six wickets to lead Nalanda to a first innings victory over Kottawa Dharmapala in their Under-15 Division I Astra Cricket Cup tournament match played on the Dharmapala ground last Thursday.
After capturing four Dharmapala wickets with his right arm leg spin to bundle them out for 117, Karunanayake made a unbeaten knock of 120 in 104 balls. The right hander's knock included four towering sixes and eighteen boundaries and filled two thirds of Nalanda's declared innings.
Scores
Dharmapala 117 all out (L.K.D.P Sankalpa 28; T.S. Wickramasinghe 3/40, K.P.N.M. Karunanayake 4/30) and 96 for 5 at close (L.K.D.A. Sankapala 28, M.D.K.J Perera 22; K.P.N.M. Karunanayake 2/13, D.K. Jayasinghe 2/41)
Nalanda 183 for 5 dec. (Nipun Karunanayake 120 n.o, A.N. Nanayakkara 18, A.V. Tharusurantha 16, D.I. Jayansinghe 14; M.S. Kamaleen 3/28)
