Sri Lanka A 177 for 3 (Perera 74, Mubarak 48*) beat Worcestershire by seven wickets
Scorecard
At last a cricket match takes place in Worcester. But that was as much as Worcestershire had to celebrate as they sank easily against the might of Sri Lanka A, who eased to a seven-wicket win with 88 balls to spare.
This is the second win in two since Sri Lanka A's tour began earlier this week with victory against MCC. It was similarly comfortable this time, at Worcester Royal Grammar School, after the home side limped to 176. Ray Price was the topscoreer with 49, before he succumbed to Akalanka Ganega, one of three victims.
The bowler combined well with Ishara Amerasinghe, who also took three, to blow away the top order. At one stage Worcestershire were hanging by a thread at 26 for 5.
Sri Lanka A lost three wickets in reply, with Dilruwan Perera topscoring with 74 and Jehan Mubarak contributing 48 not out.
