In the starter game, Hayleys Group, one of the finalist in the knock-out 50 over tournament, suffered a 70 runs defeat in the hands of Fairfirst Insurance; the win fashioned by Thanuka Dabare (50 runs and 2/22) and Nimesh Vimukthi (34 not out and 2/08).
In the match that followed in the afternoon, the hurricane century by new recruit, Avishka Fernando (100 in 51 balls inclusive of 11 sixes and one four) was in vain for CDB, as Maliban Biscuits was helped with gutsy batting by Vishen Halambage (53), Dananjaya Lakshan (39) and Sanoj Dharshika (39) coasted to a fine five wickets win with five balls to spare.
