Cricket match draw
NZPA-Reuter Hobart A patient century by Asanka Gurusinha led a Sri Lankan fightback on the final day of the drawn threeday cricket match against Tasmania yesterday. Gurusinha made 118 out of a total of 303 which left the touring side 36 runs adrift of Tasmania’s first innings total of 339 for six declared. The game ended in a draw when it was agreed by the captains to finish at the fall of the last Sri Lankan wicket. Gurusinha’s century was his second of the tour. He hit 202 against Western Australia in Perth late last month.
