Kandy got the better of exchanges against Jaffna in their National Super League 4-day tournament top of the table clash which ended in a tame draw at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Having gained a first innings lead of 185, Kandy closed their second innings at 322-5 at the fall of skipper Kamindu Mendis’ wicket for a well-constructed innings of 137 off 234 balls (10 fours, 2 sixes) leaving first innings century-maker Sahan Arachchige unbeaten on 65 scored off 135 balls (4 fours, 1 six). Lahiru Udara also chipped in with 65 off 89 balls (8 fours).
