Bandaranaike, who struck a half century in Nassington’s Cambs League win at the weekend, smacked 67 of his side’s 186-7 and then picked up 4-25 as Bourne were restricted to 162-7 in reply at the Abbey Lawns.

Bandaranaike’s runs came off 56 balls and included four sixes and three fours.

Fellow opener Dan Robinson (36) also hit three sixes during a first-wicket stand of 60 as did recent Cambs call-up Conor Craig in his 26 from 10 balls.

Bourne skipper Pete Morgan eclipsed those statistics with 82 from 44 balls (six sixes, seven fours), but he received precious little supoort from his team-mates. Bandaranaike completed his superb game by capturing the prize wicket.

Harrison Craig also bowled well taking 2-22 from five overs.

Holders Ketton eased past Market Deeping at Pit Lane in their semi-final to keep their bid for an awesome foursome of trophies on course.
