Jehan Mubarak shone with both bat and ball, scoring 59 runs and taking 5 for 59, as New Zealand A were restricted to 239 for 6 in their pursuit of Sri Lanka A's 251.

Mubarak ran through the New Zealand A middle order after Matthew Sinclair (51) and Peter Fulton (56) had taken them to a strong position at 146 for 3. Mubarak swiftly accounted for James Marshall and the experienced Chris Harris as New Zealand A lost 6 wickets for just 93 runs to finish 12 runs short of their target.

In their innings, Sri Lanka A got off to a horrific start as they lost two wickets for just two runs. Mubarak led the recovery with a quick 59 off just 60 balls that included eight fours and a six. Useful contributions from all the middle-order batsmen helped Sri Lanka A build a solid platform and Lokuhettige provided the perfect finish as he blasted 57 off just 39 balls to take Sri Lanka A to a respectable 251.
