Citizens Development Business Finance (CDB) left arm leg spinner Umayanga Premakumara ( 6-39-6) and opening batsman Chathuranga Dikkumbura (67 in 41 balls, inclusive of five sixes and four fours) spearheaded Citizens Development Business to a resounding five-wicket win over Mercantile Investments Ltd., in the 14th David Pieris Group of Companies-sponsored, “DPGC” Challenge Trophy, - MCA “E” Division 30 Over League tournament 2016, top half semifinal, at the MCA Grounds, last Saturday.

MIL sent into bat could muster 180 in 29.3 overs, thanks to a gutsy second wicket stand of 87 runs between Dilshan Rusiru (65 in 58 balls, inclusive of a six and seven fours) and Ravindu Lakshan (43 in 45 balls with three sixes and a four); the rest of the batsmen having no answer against the mesmerising leg spinner Umayanga Premakumara.

CDB chasing a victory target of 181 in 30 overs (RPO 6.03) achieved it in the 27th over, while the innings was anchored by Dikkumbura, well supported by D. Dharmasiri (30) and V. Ratnayake (26 not out).

Mercantile Investments Ltd. – 180 all out in 29.3 overs (Dilshan Rusiru 65, Ravindu Lakshan 43, C. Hemachandra 21, Dinesh Seneviratne 21, Umayanga Premakumara 6/39).
