The Indonesian youngsters from Yadavas Chairos Tigers were taking on the experience of Ceylon CC in the first T20 game on Sunday. After Sanjeeva had knocked out the openers early, the DKI province players, fresh off their PON games performances, put together good partnerships. Aditya Gustama (27) & Repen Desnika (36) helped the Tigers recover well after the loss of the openers & Agi Saptiazi (39no) provided the run-rate impetus later in the innings to take the Tigers to a respectable 141/7 in 20 overs.
In reply, the belligerence of Dihan Silva (61 of 42 balls) & his 58 run partnership with the solid Rajeev Kumar (30no) ensured that Ceylon CC overcome a good fight put up by the Tigers in the form of Fernandez Nato (2/20) & Agi Saptiazi (2/17) to reach the target with 3 balls & 4 wickets to spare.
