By M. Shamil Amit
Dineth Thimodya shone with a quick-fire 119-ball knock of 127 that included ten boundaries and seven sixes in Ragama CC’s massive 194 runs win over Negombo CC in the Premier limited over tournament encounter played at Thurstan ground yesterday.
Dineth was involved in two valuable partnerships, first of 117 runs for the second wicket with Sameera de Zoysa and the other of 99 runs for the third wicket with Roshen Silva. 
Silva later associated in an unfinished 77-run partnership for the fourth wicket to help Ragama CC taking first lease of the wicket post a formidable score of 332 for 3.
Later Ragama CC’s Nishan Peiris, Amila Aponso and Silva shared six wickets between them to bundle out the Negombo CC batting for a low score of 138 runs.
