D S Senanayake College beat Mahanama College by two wickets in the 5th annual one day encounter against Mahanama College at SSC last Sunday.

A match bag of six wickets by DSS Heshan Perera and later Saveen Cyril's half century ensured their victory over Mahanama College.

On the part of Mahanamians two half centuries were recorded by Dilshan Rusiru (71) and Chathura Wanniarachchi (54) but lack of effective contribution from the rest of the batsmen limited them to 191 all out which saw DSS win by two wickets.
