Malith Fernando walked in when Commercial Credit was 84 for 3 in 17 overs, anchored the batting and remained unbeaten till the end of innings - 300 for 7 in 50 overs. For Standard Charted the 300 mark for not easy to get but was not impossible as all 11 were batsman. It was just a case of putting your head down and building partnerships, as Malith Fernando did for Commercial Credit. Rajapaksa and Perumal’s valiant effort only proved a point, as SCB fell by the way side, all out for 211 in 46.5 overs. It was easy pickings for the Match Referee, KH Nandasena to name the Man of the Match - Malith Fernando from Commercial Credit and Finance ‘B’.
