Thursday, 9 October 2025 04:23 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The lone batting effort by opening batter Sangeeth Cooray (62 off 52 balls, 2 sixes, 5 fours) and the splendid spell of leg spin bowling by Sanoj Dharshaka (4 overs, 19 runs, 4 wickets) gave Maliban Biscuits a fighting 14-run win over BBK Partnership, in the ongoing 32nd Singer–MCA Super Premier League T20 Tournament 2025, which continued yesterday at the MCA Grounds.

Earlier yesterday, CDB crushed defending champions Fairfirst Insurance by five wickets; Fairfirst Insurance, trapped on a turning wicket, crashed to a paltry 93 runs in 13.5 overs, having no answer to CDB bowlers Promod Madushan, Tharindu Ratnayake, and Navindu Prabath.

The tournament will continue tomorrow and Sunday, 12 October, with the three remaining matches in the League stage.
