The first days play was completely washed off and yesterday only about 190 minutes play was possible during which period the Antonians scored 92 for 3 in 83 overs.
Yesterday play started only at 11 a.m. but a heavy downpour after tea forced the match to be abandoned. The Antonians taking first lease of the wicket were struggling at 38 for 3 at lunch time. But in the post-lunch play they advanced their score to 92 for 3 with H. M. Rikaz playing a solid knock of 40 not out with 5 fours and with P. D. Withanage 26 not out. This pair put on 62 for the fourth wicket. This put paid to any chances of Peterites forcing a win.
Peterites bowled very lightly and of the 83 overs they sent down, 47 overs were maidens.
