CDB stay unbeaten
Citizens Development Business Finance remained as the only unbeaten team with four wins on the trot, in the 29th Singer-mca Super Premier League 2022.
CDB beat John Keells by 18 runs and then beat Sampath Bank by four wickets.
Meanwhile, debutants Mode Engineering proved to be a force to reckon with, when they scored a convincing four-wicket win over the 2021 league winner Hayleys Group -Mode Engineering’s third win out of four and Hayley’s third defeat out of four.
Dilshan Munaweera continued his supreme form for HNB with another belligerent 80 runs vs. John Keells, but HNB lost the game by 32 runs, despite Munaweera’s blitz.
Munaweera has three 50s in four outings.
