Boucher sets up Warriors

Chasing a modest 154 for a win, the Warriors were never in trouble as they were nicely placed at 93 for three in the 11th over before wicketkeeper-batsman Boucher and Justin Kreusch (37 not out) took them to a comfortable win with 10 balls remaining.

The duo shared a 63-run stand for the unconquered fourth wicket from 44 balls.
Boucher struck four fours and two sixes during his 26-ball stay while Kreusch hit three fours in his 29-ball innings.

Earlier, opener Jeevantha Kulatunga struck a strokeful 59 to help Wayamba reach 153 for nine after the Sri Lankan champion side were reduced to 50 for three in the ninth over after electing to bat.
