A rock solid 85 –runs stand in 135 balls for the 05th wicket, between Amith Jayaratne (52 in 74 balls, inclusive of 03 fours) and skipper, Chamod Wickramasinghe (37 in 81 balls, inclusive of 03 fours) gave DFCC Bank an exciting 03 wickets win, with 05 balls to spare, over Central Finance, in the 01st Coca Cola Beverages Trophy – MCA ‘D’ division 40 Over League Tournament 2019 final, at the MCA grounds recently.
Central Finance who won the toss and batted was restricted to 143 for 9 in 40 overs by a terrier like fielding performance displaced by DFCC and intelligent bowling by their spinners, Gayashan Jayaweera (8-1-40-4) and Chamod Wickramasinghe (8 -1-15-2).
DFCC chasing a victory target of 144 runs in 40 Overs (RPO 3.6) was in a spot of bother losing their first 04 wickets for 34 runs, before Amith Jayaratne and Chamod Wickramasinghe came in with reinforcements. Both were brilliantly run out.
Match Referee, Tyrone H. Wijewardena had no hesitation on naming, Amith Jayaratne from DFCC as his man of the match.
The other 03 special awards based on performances in the league stage matches: Best Bowler Ravindu Maduranga from NDB Bank (44.5 overs / 128 runs/ 16 wickets), Best Batsman / Tharindu Vidanapathirana from Delmage Group (06 innings / 296 runs/ 03 half centuries), Man of the Series / Vikum Costha from Central Finance (243 runs and 15 wickets).
