Sachithra and Sachith shine

By Nishantha Kumara

Right arm off-spinner Sachithra Perera produced a stunning bowling performance after Sachith Devage stuck a well composed unbeaten 102 as Ananda claimed an innings and 59-run win over Zahira College in their own back yard in their Youth 19 cricket fixture concluded yesterday.
Perera who picked up 3 for 26 in the first innings demolished the batting order in the second innings picking 7 wickets for just 30 runs to guide his team for a comfortable innings win.
