Spinners Lakshitha Manasinghe and Kavindu Nadeeshan bowled SSC to a comprehensive 121-run win over Tamil Union in a SLC Limited-Over inter-club top of the group clash at the SSC grounds yesterday.

Then the spinners got to work on the Tamil Union batting to bowl them out for 146 with Manasinghe, a standby in Sri Lanka’s squad for the first Test against Australia at Galle taking four wickets and Nadeeshan three wickets.
