By M. Shamil Amit

Sri Lanka youth player Lahiru Lakmal wrecked Anuradhapura Central with a sterling all-round performance which helped Christ King College Ja-Ela to record an outright win by an innings and 38 runs in their Under 19 inter-school cricket encounter played at Anuradhapura.

Lakmal first slammed a 146-ball knock of 214 with 13 boundaries and 15 towering sixes as his team piled up 401 for 8 declared which was too much for Anuradhapura Central who were bowled out for totals of 222 and 151.

Lakmal then followed it up with a match bag of 10 for 142 in a rare feat.

Christ King College Ja-Ela 401 for 8 declared Lahiru Lakmal 214, Rayan Sachintha 53, Promod Chamika 62, Sayura Akash 33: Sethuka Munasinghe 4/61, Daham Seneviratne 2/114)
