Devans start well but our boys fought back at picked up some quick wickets to hinder the progress of Devans. Maliyadeva boys also showing their fighting spirit, tried to fight back at latter part of the match but couldn't over come the resistance of the Annites players which restrict Maliyadeva batsmen to 236 in their 44th over.
