Thisara’s fireworks power Kandurata

It took a power packed blitz of 72 by Thisara Perea to take the Kandurata side to a commendable score of 159 for the loss of 7 wickets after 20 overs against the Neganahira Nagas at the R.Premadasa stadium under lights.

Thisara favoring the deep mid wicket and long on areas absolutely smashed anything on length with such shear power combined with perfect timing to up the ante for the Kandurata side who were stuck in a pain stricken 4 for 61 of 10.5 overs. Four huge sixes and six boundaries comprised of Thisara’s innings of 72 of just 33 balls. His fifty came of just 22 balls.

Kandurata Captain Thilan Samaraweera won the toss elected to bat first and were in trouble in the first over itself when the captain himself was caught at the covers of Kanishka Alvitigala during the second over.The Kandurata team couldn’t capitalize at all during the powerplay 6 over period as Neganahira bowlers were accurate, bowled consistent lines and lengths.

Wicket keeper Kaushal Silva renowned for his test style defensive batting tried his best to get some quick runs but was dismissed for just 16 of 12 balls. Kithruwan Withanage looked good in his knock of 24 but couldn’t rotate the strike much and was undone by an Ajantha Mendis off break.

Scott Styris who came in next played a loose shot of an extremely short ball of Sachith Pathirana to scoop a catch for Angelo Mathews to swallow.

The experienced Misbah Ul Haq tried to rotate the strike and when the run rate dipped below 6 runs per over tried to cut loose but was caught brilliantly by wicket keeper Mushfiqur Rahim of Ajantha Mendis for 24. Then it was the Thisara Perera show on offer and the crowd were delighted to see an array of big hits. Ben Laughlin who out foxed batsmen with his slower balls and yorkers ended up with 2 wickets for 29 runs.

Kandurata - 159 for 7 wickets in 20 overs. (Thisara Perera 72,K.Vithanage 24;Laughlin 2 for 29,A.Mendis 2 for 30 and Sachith Pathirana 2/30).
