Sebastianites
- Panadura SC match to be replayed
The
abandoned match between hosts Sebastianites and Panadura
SC in the inter-club Premier Tier B segment has to be
completed by February 8 according to Sri Lanka Cricket’s
tournament secretary Chandima Mapatuna.
“We held an inquiry and came to a conclusion that
this match has to be completed before February 8,”
Mapatuna told The Bottomline.
However when Mapatuna was asked if the match would be
continued from the point play was called off he replied:
“We have instructed both teams that the match should
be replayed.”
Mapatuna further said that since Sebastianites are hosts
they can decide on the venue for the match which will
decide the Tier ‘B’ champions and the team
to be relegated to the Sara Division.
“A similar incident happened at the De Zoysa Stadium
pitch sometime back. I don’t think anyone will
object to not replaying the match at the same venue
if the pitch doesn’t suit play. The hosting team
will have to decide on that,” Mapatuna added.
The crucial deciding match between Panadura SC and Sebastianites
was abandoned after a huge chunk of the pitch came loose
at the De Zoysa Stadium in Moratuwa last week.
