Penetrative bowling by right arm medium pacer, Chamika Gunasekera (3-9-5) and a quick fire 62 not out in 33 balls, inclusive of 5 sixes and 4 fours by Asel Sigera helped Fairfirst Insurance to register an impressive 7 wickets win over Asia Capital in the ongoing 2nd Fairfirst Insurance Trophy, MCA ‘F’ division 25-Over League Tournament 2019, continued last weekend, June 8 and 9.
