New Delhi, Oct 13 (PTI) Wayamba Elevens Tuesday defeated
Victoria Bushrangers by 15 runs in last Group D match of the
inaugural Champions League Twenty20 but it was not enough for
the Sri Lankan side to progress to the next stage of the event
as they missed out on net run-rate.

After posting a paltry 118 for nine on the board, Wayanba
needed to restrict Victoria under 83 to qualify for the next
stage, but they failed to do so, thereby losing out a Super
Eight spot to Delhi Daredevils and the Australian side.

Daredevils will now play their first league match in
Bangalore on Saturday, and will return to the home turf to
round off their league outing.

Brad Hodge top-scored for Victoria in their wayward
run-chase with unbeaten 44 off 52 balls, while Andrew McDonald
remained not out on 27 off 16 deliveries.

For Wayamba, Chanaka Welegedara was pick of the bowlers,
scalping two wickets for 18 from his four overs.

Earlier, Shane Harwood (3/14) ripped apart the Wayamba
Elevens batting line up while Clint MCKay (2/24) and Andrew
McDonald (2/19) complemented him ably to restrict Wayamba to a
paltry 118 for nine.

Jeevantha Kulatunga (42 off 39 balls) and Michael Vandort
(42 off 44) were the lone bright spot in the Wayamba batting
chart with the duo sharing 81 runs for second wicket but still
could not manage to guide the Sri Lankan side total past 120
mark. MORE PTI SSC
