SD70 – A Steady Anchor in the Storm 🏏🦁
Shehan Dilshan Weerarathne

On a day when Colombo Lions were put under pressure, one man stood tall.

Batting first, Shehan Dilshan (SD70) anchored the innings with a determined 74 off 55 balls, striking 3 fours and 3 sixes. While wickets fell and challenges mounted, he held the innings together with patience, composure, and grit.

The result may not have gone our way, but this was an innings that showcased character, responsibility, and resilience. A true fighter’s knock when the team needed it most.

A disciplined bowling effort from the entire unit with Contributions from Harsha Probodha Madhushanka (2/14), Tashik Perera (2/23), Vikum costa (2/24) and Asel Sigera (2/27) ensured the opposition never recovered after early breakthroughs.
