SERENDIB CRICKET

Serendib's chance of winning first ever cup final had been vanished due to Lions good tight bowling.Although Serendib lost the toss , Buddhika Manoj and Shiron Dharshana bowled fantastic opening spell to stop Lions usual attacking style of batting.In the first 5 overs, Lions score was just 14 runs.But after the 5 overs,with the help of some loose bowling they gradually accelarated the run rate.In the end Serendib came back to the game with some good fielding effort to restrict Lions innings to a reachable score of 101 runs.This is good bowling effort considering the Lions powerfull batting lineup.

Serendib openers Shiron Dharshana and Lasith Rathanamalala started their run chase but couldnt give a good start both of them got out too early.But Dhanuka who was promoted to batting looks realy good hitting some nice shots.But his run out gave Lions to get back to the game.It was the turning point of the match after that Serendib batsman failed to score required run rate of 5 runs.At the end of the 10 overs Serendib score was 30 runs way behind of the required run rate.That shows the accuracy of Lions bowling.In the end Serendib batsman tried to accelarate the run rate but wickets were fallen regular intervals.Finally Lions won the JGC 20/20 cup by 26 runs.
