Left-handed opening batsman Johann Peiris (59 with eight fours and one six) steered Lanka Cavaliers to a thrilling four-wicket win over Ambalangoda Masters in their annual 30-overs-a-side cricket encounter played on Sunday, 4 April at Ambalangoda.

Lanka Cavaliers, chasing a challenging total of 216 runs to win in 30 overs, reached their target in 28.5 overs thanks to Peiris’ solid batting performance. Peiris was engaged in two productive partnerships, a 55-run opening stand with Sujith Perera (38) and 95 runs for the second wicket with Wasanthalal Fernando(32), while Suranjith Dharmasena put the finishing touches by remaining unbeaten on 39* runs.

The Ambalangoda Masters would have scored much more if not for the excellent fielding performance by Susan Bandara, who certainly saved more than 20 runs for the Lanka Cavaliers.
