The women's cricket defeat that the Principal could not tolerate

The one-day women's cricket match between Moratuwa Prince of Wales' College and Colombo Yasodara Vidyalaya, held at Moratuwa Soysa Stadium, concluded with the Prince of Wales' College players securing a thrilling two-run victory. However, more than the victory on the field, everyone's attention was drawn to the tense situation that arose after the match.

Batting first in the match, Prince of Wales' College scored 131 runs all out in 34.2 overs. Chasing a winning target of 132 runs, Yasodara Vidyalaya could only manage 129 runs in 35.3 overs, and their innings also ended with all players out.

During the awards ceremony organized at the end of the match, the principal of Yasodara Vidyalaya, speaking out, accused that an injustice had occurred to her school during the match. She further stated that this would be the last "Battle of the Queens" match her school would participate in.

Subsequently, the captain of the Yasodara Vidyalaya team, who were the runners-up, came to the stage to receive the award, but on the principal's orders, she did not accept it and was sent back. For this reason, more discussion and attention were generated by this incident that occurred after the match, rather than the final victory of the match.
