Short-Leg
A splendid batting effort by the Sri Lanka ‘A’ top order helped them towards a crushing 60-run win over Ireland ‘A’ in the first of the five-match unofficial ODIs played at the Sooriyawewa International Cricket ground yesterday. All what Ireland ‘A’ managed was 305 runs after Avishka Fernando and Milinda Siriwardana stroke quick-fire centuries to help Sri Lanka ‘A’ post a mammoth 365 for 5 after they were put in to bat first on a placid batting track.
