On Sunday, fans at the R Premadasa Stadium were treated to a demolition act. And they got one. Wayamba United openers Tamim Iqbal (93*) and Kamran Akmal (79) produced a blazing 176-run opening partnership. The openers made the chase of 180 seem like a breeze as they hit fours and sixes at will, demolishing Uthura Rudra.
