by Reemus Fernando Dharmasoka College complet- ed their Under-19 tournament matches with a ten wicket victory over Kingswood College to top the points table in their group as leg- spinner Ramesh Mendis impressed with a match bag of ten wickets in their Under-19 match which ended at Ambalangoda yes- terday. Forced to follow on after being dismissed for a paltry 67 runs, Kingswood fought back to better their first innings performance as Yasindu Athukorala top scored with 50 runs to post 176 runs. Spinner Mendis was the pick of the bowlers for Dharmasoka as he impressed with a six wicket haul. The Sokians had to chase just 24 runs to win and they achieved it without losing wickets.

Scores: Maris Stella 273 all out in 67 overs (Shanuka de Silva 62, Dasun Shanaka 42, Malinda Samarasekara 36, Vishwa Kanchuka 33, Prasansana Jayamanne 33, Angelo Jayasinghe 22; Nimna de Silva 6/68, Madushanka de Silva 2/60) Revata 63 for 3 at close in 23 overs (Nimna de Silva 35n.o; Angelo Jayasinghe 2/15 Berenger drops anchor for Petes Opener Andri Berenger anchored St. Peter’s College bat- ing lineup with 103 runs for them to post 240 runs before Lahiru Jayaratne and Nilochana Perera shared eight wickets between them to restrict St. Anthony’s College to 118 for eight wickets at close on the first day of their match started at Kandy yesterday. Scores: St. Peter’s 240 all out in 55.3 overs (Andri Berenger 103, Shehan Fernando 26; Aravinda Premaratne 4/44, Adil Riyal 3/92, Eranda Seneviratne 2/27) St. Anthony’s 118 for 8 at close in 37 overs (Hiran Wickramasekara 25, Pulasthi de Silva 24; Lahiru Jayaratne 4/38, Nilochana Perera 4/37) Ananda Sastralaya shot out for 44 runs Ananda Sastralaya were shot out for 44 runs as Vikum Sanjaya and Ravija Sandaruwan shared nine wickets between them before Lumbini Posted 292 runs on the back of a valuable century scored by Damith Priyadharshana on the first day of their match started at Colts Ground today.

India, asked to bat first, began well with Virender Sehwag (46) and Dinesh Karthik (44) laying a solid foundation, while Suresh Raina (58) helped consolidate with his 15th ODI half-century as India made 298 for nine. Jacques Kallis, who had starred with a three-wicket haul earlier, gave chase with a spirited 89, but his dismissal in the 43rd over hampered South Africa’s hopes. Wayne Parnell (49 off 47 deliveries) and Dale Steyn (35 from 19) pushed India to the brink with a 65-run stand for the ninth wicket in just over six overs, but the visi- tors eventually fell narrowly short. India lost Sachin Tendulkar (four) early and thereafter were pegged back by the loss of a wicket every time they showed signs of dominating South Africa’s attack. Following Tendulkar’s dismissal, India rebuilt through Sehwag and Karthik, the latter providing impetus with a stroke- filled stay. Karthik hammered Parnell for three boundaries in an over before Sehwag joined in by hitting Albie Morkel for two fours and a towering six. That association yielded 79, before South Africa, thoroughly professional in the field right through, had Sehwag run out, the batsman backing up too far as a drive from Karthik ricocheted off the stumps at the non-striker’s end , brushing Charl Langeveldt’s fingertips along the way. Langeveldt, a late addition to the South Africa squad, then removed Karthik, lur- ing him with a short ball, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni (26), batting up the order, offered flashiness, but little substance in a brief stay. Virat Kohli (31) and Raina again lifted the hosts with a 66-run stand, but just when the two appeared to have the meas- ure of South Africa’s bowlers, Kohli departed and India lost their way again. Yusuf Pathan (18) flattered to deceive as he fell just after the batting powerplay was called, India still managing a decent 48 from those five overs. But Raina’s demise in the first over immediately after the field was pushed back and Ravindra Jadeja’s (22) dismissal shortly after saw the home side finish about 30 runs short of what they would have wanted. Herschelle Gibbs (27) and Loots Bosman (29) blazed away at the start of South Africa’s reply, the openers hammer- ing India’s bowlers around the park as they added 58 in fairly quick time. Bosman, however, was bowled by Praveen Kumar and Jadeja made further inroads by snaring Gibbs in his second over, the opener skying to Kohli at long-off. AB de Villiers (25) had shown intent and purpose, adding 45 with Kallis for the third wicket, but his innings was ended by Jadeja, the left-arm spinner securing his second victim with a delivery that kept low. The wheels then came off South Africa’s chase as the middle-order fell apart and Kallis too eventually fell in the 43rd over - bowled by Sreesanth. South Africa needed 74 to win from seven overs at that stage, but Parnell and Steyn’s astounding partnership took the game down to the wire. South Africa needed only 10 from the last over and Praveen bowled Steyn with the second ball, but conceded five from the next three leaving South Africa with four to win from the last ball. A wide added to the drama, but Parnell was run out off the last delivery while attempting a second run as India emerged winners.
