Sri Lankan star sets up T20 Cup Final win for Market Deeping, semi-final success for Castor, Rutland League games can be postponed if England reach the World Cup Final

A terrific spell of leg-spin bowling from Sri Lankan star Sachithra Perera set up a convincing win for Market Deeping over Uppingham Town in the Stamford Charity Cup Final last night (July 8).

Perera was largely unplayable taking 4-12 from his four overs as Uppingham limped to 106-9 in their 20 overs.

And that total was made to look inadequate by rapid innings of 42 from opener Josh Smith and 30 from Ali Sharp as Deeping won by six wickets with six overs to spare.
