CDB, Colombo Aces, Amzet Lanka and HNB ‘A’ registered wins with wet ground conditions and rain forcing the reduction of overs as the 11th Singer MCA Super Premier T20 Tournament got under way on Tuesday.

At the FTZ ground, Katunayake, CDB continued their good form to beat David Pieris Group by 75 runs in a 19 overs per side game. Vishad Randika (82 off 47) and Pawantha Weerasinghe (52* off 35) contributed with half tons for the winners while the bowlers did well to defend their score of 179.

In the afternoon match, Dulnith Sigera, Vinushka Silva and Shakoor Yoonus captured three wickets each to restrict BBK Partnership to 89 runs and keep ahead of the DLS par score to win by 13 runs when rain put an end to play after the completion of the 10th over.

At the CCC, in a match reduced to seven overs per side, Colombo Aces, powered by a 14-ball 46 from Sachitha Jayathilake, were able to defeat Fairfirst Insurance by 7 wickets with eight balls to spare.

In the afternoon, unbeaten half centuries by Ramesh Mendis and Kavishka Anjula for Hayleys Group ‘A’ were in vain as HNB ‘A’ were ahead of the DLS target with seven wickets in hand when rain put an end to the game at the conclusion of the 15th over. Sohan de Livera smashed an unbeaten 60 runs off 39 balls for the winners.
