It was a close game!

Today Serendib played against Lions under the rainny condition at Koiwa.Serendib thought this game might postpone due to last night rain but had to play because Lions didnt want to re-schedule this game.

Serendib captain won the toss for the first time on this season and decided to bat under cloudy condition.But serendib wickets had been fallen in regular intervals so couldn't accelarate the run rate.Apart from some good hitting by Ganganath no other batsman could score runs freely. In the end Serendib finish their innings with the score of 98 runs for the lost of 8 wickets.Both Dhanuka samaranayake and Ganganath scored 24 runs.

Serendib started well to defend the low score of 98 runs.Both opening bowlers Buddhika Manoj and Shanaka bowled with tight line and lenght and picked up 2 early wickets.After that there was a little partnership before Asankha Pallegedara took his first of three wickets with the help of good catch by Buddhika Samarakoon.Then Buddhika Manoj took a splendid catch to build the pressure on lions batsman.

In the end Lions managed to chase their target of 99 runs for the lost of 7 wickets.It was a close game but if Serendib scored some 20 more runs the result might be different.
