Asian won the toss and chose to field first in the 40 over match.  Lyceum Nugegoda were good with the bat at first but then they started losing crucial wickets. They lost their top order batsmen and then the actual pressure began for the Lyceumites. Asian bowled extremely well to have them bowled out in 96 in 25.2 overs.
