[Youth] : Iridium XI 369 for 2 (Powell 193, Smith 103*, Rasmijinan 2-68) beat Colombo Cobras 233 (Suriyapperuma 59, Trethewey 4-35, Buttsworth 3-49) by 136 runs
Big win in my youth game. Things started off well with a 103-run opening stand between Powell and Thompson. Thompson was dismissed on 40 and then the carnage began. Smith, promoted to No. 3, combined with Powell for a 2nd wicket partnership worth 238, with Smith scoring his maiden youth ton. Powell powered on to 193 off 123 ball with 14 fours and 3 sixes, falling seven short of a deserved double ton.
Bowlers were a bit expensive in the end. The Colombo top order put up a bit of a fight but after Trethewey dealt with them, the lower order fell away. They were eventually dismissed for 233.
Powell's form has been amazing. From 15 youth games he has 1279 runs @ 85.27 with 9 fifties and 4 centuries.
This win takes me to first equal on points but 3rd due to NRR.
