The rain interrupted the game for a good 30 minutes and it looked like it wouldn't be an easy task to bowl with the wet outfield, but the opening pair of Asher and Adnan bowled exceptionally well and choked the SCC opening batsmen. SCC lost it first wicket at 16 in the 10th over of the inning. The second wicket soon followed when the first bowling change for NCC worked for them. SCC was at 24 for 2 in 11 overs. Then came SCC captain Milan Fernando who carried the inning with caution and waited for the loose balls to hit boundaries. Because of the wet outfield, it was getting very difficult to grip the ball and Milan made good use of the opportunity. Despite the change of balls it was very tricky for the NCC bowlers to keep a steady line and length and they kept giving one or two loose balls every overs. SCC batsmen played sensibly and took the game forward and had a good 90 runs partnership between Milan and Adit. When the match was going away from the NCC, they got a breakthrough as Adit was got at gully by Asher. They still needed 60+ runs and the match could have gone anywhere. SCC captain Milan who was still in the middle top-edged one but NCC could not capitalize that opportunity. After that, it was an easy walk for SCC and they got to the target in just 34.1 overs at the loss of 5 wickets.
