An almost run-a-ball 110 by Chathura Wanniarachchi was in vain as Sampath Bank registered their fourth win in four outings by defeating Commercial Bank by 91 runs in the Mercantile Cricket Association (MCA) Champions League 2026 match played at the Colts Ground yesterday.
This year, the MCA Champions League is sponsored by HONOR mobile phones.
Electing to bat first, Sampath Bank, powered by half-centuries from Chamath Dilsara (76 off 81 balls), Dulaj Ashen (71 off 75 balls), and Adithya Siriwardena (81 off 67 balls), posted 313/9 in their 50 overs.
In the chase, Chathura Wanniarachchi, scoring 110 off 112 balls with 15 boundaries and a six, and Subuddhi Kaushalya, scoring 48 off 53 balls with six boundaries, were the main scorers, as Commercial Bank fell short by 91 runs. Ashen starred with the ball as well, picking up three wickets.
