Wayamba claimed the Inter-provincial Twenty20 title for the third time after a clinical performance in the final.

The Sri Lankan stars -- Mahela Jayawardene and Ajantha Mendis, were the heroes for Wayamba as they beat Ruhuna.

Former Lankan captain Jayawardene scored a brilliant 91 off 49 balls, which included six sixes and 10 fours. After Ruhuna put Wayamba to bat, Jayawardene and Jeevantha Kulatunga got the team off to a flying start with a stand of 89 in 7.4 overs.

After losing Kulatunga for 26, Jayawardene continued to pile up runs for Wayamba. He also shared short partnerships with captain Jehan Mubarak (21) and Janith Perera (34) to help the team reach a total of 208 for eight.

Chasing a stiff target, Ruhuna lost captain Upul Tharanga for a duck off the second ball.

And then they just fumbled in their attempt to maintain the required run-rate of ten runs an over.

Sri Lanka spinner Ajantha Mendis finished with impressive figures of 4 for 9 off 3.2 overs to bundle out Ruhuna for 113.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal provided the only resistance, hitting 64 off 33 balls.
