Kandurata Maroons huff and puff to 154 runs

The Kandurata Maroons just about managed to go past the 150-run mark and scored 154 runs in their allotted 20 overs for the loss of 9 wickets.
After a great start given by Upul Tharanga, none of the other batsmen could capitalize.
He scored 76 runs off 56 balls with the help of 6 fours and three sixes.
However, after that no other batsman could contribute meaningfully.
The next highest score after those 76 runs was 15 runs by Dilhara Lokuhettige.
Shehan Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara scored 13 runs each and looked set for a big score.
But wickets kept tumbling one after the other and the scoring rate also took a beating.
Had they not lost those many wickets, they could have certainly scored 10 to 15 more runs.
This could have made the match more competitive.

Ryan ten Doeschate showed that he too can bowl and contributed with the wickets as well.
