Antonians win

S M Jiffrey Abdeen, - Kandy Sports Correspondent

Right-arm off spinner Aravinda Premaratne took a match-bag of 10 for 53 to bowl St Anthony's College, Kandy to an innings and 190 runs win over Kalutara Vidyalaya in their inter-school cricket match concluded at the Kalutara esplanade yesterday.

Aravinda Premaratne struck a good length turning the ball at varying angles and often at a low trajectory bemused the Kalutara Vidyalaya batsmen to capture 5 for 31 and leg-spinner Saranga Rajaguru lent him useful support to capture 3 for 31.

Kalutara Vidyalaya continuing from their overnight score of 58 for 3 folded up for 107 after batting for 16.3 overs yesterday morning.

They were expected to put up a better fight in the second innings but they fared worse to be routed for a paltry 63 in just 24.3 overs.

Off-spinner Aravinda Premaratne once again turned out to be the wrecker capturing 5 for 22.

Though playing in their home terrain, Kalutara Vidyalaya in the two innings could not even score half of Antonians' huge total of 360 for 3 declared.

St Anthony's College: 360 for 3 declared.

Kalutara Vidyalaya: 58 for 3 wickets overnight 107 all out in 46.3 overs (Isuru Buddhika 25, P Withanage 25, Aravinda Premaratne 5 for 31, Saranga Rajaguru 3 for 31) and 63 all out in 24.3 overs (R Gayan 19, S Upekshana 12, Aravinda Premaratne 5 for 22, Tharaka Jayasinghe 2 for 8, Saranga Rajaguru 2 for 26).
