SL U19 has lost the 2nd Youth ODI by 30 runs chasing a mammoth 361. Not disgraced themselves coming within 30 runs of such a formidable target. Pulindu Perera among the runs again, top scoring with 64 off 59 balls. In the bowling, captain Kalupahana getting a 5 fer despite being expensive.

Decent chase. Good to see the whole batting unit contributing all the way down the order too.

Seems like Kalupahana is an AR. Hope he can be consistent. SL has been lacking a good AR for a LONG time.

AR = Allrounder

Great. Let's watch him. Hopefully he is the amounted one when others have failed.
