Trincomalee U19 secured their third win of the ongoing SLC U19 Provincial Youth League limited over tournament with a convincing ten wicket win over the hapless Batticaloa U19 in the match played at Polonnaruwa. Trincomalee U19’s bowling pair Kaveen Kalhara and Sathira Denuwan shared eight wickets between them to bundle out Batticaloa U19 for a meager 32 runs and Trincomalee U19 in their run chase raced to the target with ease in the fifth over.   
Polonnaruwa U19 maintained their unbeaten record when they coasted to their second successive win when they recorded a massive 100 run win over Mannar U19 in the match played at Anuradhapura while Matara U19 overcame Ratnapura U19 by 28 runs on the DLS to record their second win.
