Serendib CC started their 2009 cricket season with a good win against Indian Engineers at Edogawa yesterday.Serendib new captain Buddhika Samarakoon won the toss and no hesitation to bat first under realy good weather condition.Former captain Asankha Pallegedara scored good solid 61 runs and anchored the Serendib innings.Good support was given by Dhanuka Samaranayake,Lasith Rathnamalala.In the end Serendib managed to score 199 runs thier allocated 40 overs.Shiron Dharshana and Amesh contributed with quick runs end of the innings.

Indian Engineers started thier run chase but couldn't managed to score with required rate because of tight bowling by Buddhika Manoj and dhanuka samaranayake.But thier captain Sanjeeb and Anurag gradually start to attack the serendib bowlers.One time they required only 75 runs with required run rate of just 5 runs per over.But after the fall of Anurag due to bad running between wickets cause thier wickets to collapse.In the final over buddhika manoj took a superb hat trick by taking 3 wickets.So Indian Engineers fall short of 38 runs and Serendib start thier new season in a winning note.
