Dambulla face Jaffna in the final today
National Super League Limited Over Tournament
A whopping cash prize of Rs.2 Million will be awarded to the winning team when Dambulla take on Jaffna in the final of the National Super League Limited Over Tournament tomorrow at R. Premadasa Stadium Colombo.
Both teams have star-studded players in their lines up and the two sides have previously met on four occasions, sharing two wins each.
Team Dambulla topped the points table with 33 points in 8 matches while Jaffna ended second with 22 points way behind the table leaders.
Heading into the final Team Dambulla will have a slight edge over Jaffna considering the recent performance. They will look to put on a similar performance as they have done so far in the tournament in order to end on the winning side.
Their batters have played a crucial part in their forward march to the finals and will look to put on a similar performance to bag the title.
Dambulla would be pleased to see opening pair Minod Bhanuka and Pavan Ratnayake give them a solid start. With Kamindu Mendis c Lasith Abeyratne, and Ashan Priyanjan to do the scoring in the middle overs.
In bowling, Asitha Fernando along with Nuwan Thushara will lead the pace attack, while National wrist spinner Lakshan Sandakan will lead the spin attack.
On the other hand, Jaffna will also head into the finals brimming with confidence as they too have had a decent tournament so far.
The main concern for Jaffna will be their unsettled batting line-up, which has failed to produce big scores, with a few of them throwing their wickets away after a good start.
They also have a star-studded team with the likes of skipper Janitha Liyanage, Nishan Madushka, Navod Paranavithana, Lahiru Madushka and Ravindu Fernando to do the talking from the bat.
Earlier Sri Lanka cricket announced, the winners of the Finals will walk away with a whopping Rs.2, 000,000 while the runners-up will receive 1,000,000. The individual awards for the player of the tournament (300,000), Best Batsman (150,000) and Best bowler (150,000) will also receive cash prizes.
The match is scheduled to begin at 2.30 pm with a toss at 2.00 p.m.
The Finals of the National Super League 50-over tournament will be telecast live on “Channel Eye” of the SLRC. The game will also be shown via the Sri Lanka Cricket YouTube Channel within Sri Lanka.

Group C Still Up for Grabs as Four Teams Eye Quarterfinal Spots in Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025!
The Lifebuoy Bodywash Ball Blaster 2025 Schools Football Championship Group C stage remains finely poised — with all four schools still in contention to reach the quarterfinals. With Gateway College having completed all their matches, the final fixtures will decide the fate of St. Benedict’s, St. Patrick’s, and St. Joseph’s Colleges.
Current Standings:
| School | M | W | L | D | GS | GA | GD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gateway College | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 4 | +2 | 5 |
| St. Benedict’s College | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | +1 | 4 |
| St. Patrick’s College | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 4 | -1 | 1 |
| St. Joseph’s College | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | -2 | 0 |
Gateway College – Top for Now 🟢
Gateway College leads with 5 points after finishing all their group-stage matches. Their unbeaten record gives them a strong edge, but their qualification still depends on the final two matchdays. They’ll be watching closely as St. Benedict’s and St. Patrick’s fight for crucial wins.
St. Benedict’s College – Advantage in Hand ⚪
With 4 points from 2 games, St. Benedict’s College holds the upper hand. A victory in their next match will guarantee a quarterfinal spot, potentially as Group winners. A draw could still be enough, but a defeat would leave them vulnerable to a late surge from the other two schools.
St. Patrick’s College – Still in the Race 🟡
With 1 point from 2 games, St. Patrick’s still has a chance to qualify — but only if they win the remaining match. They’ll also need to improve their goal difference, currently at -1, to stay competitive in case of a tie on points.
St. Joseph’s College – A Must-Win Situation 🔵
After losing their opening game, St. Joseph’s College faces a do-or-die scenario. With two matches left, the Josephians must win both — and by convincing margins — to stay in contention for a top-two finish. Anything less will end their campaign.
Qualification Scenarios:
- 🏆 If St. Benedict’s wins next match: Gateway and Benedict’s advance.
- 🤝 If St. Benedict’s draws next match: Gateway likely through; second spot open between Benedict’s and Patrick’s.
- ❌ If St. Benedict’s loses: St. Patrick’s or St. Joseph’s could qualify by winning their remaining games.
The Group C showdown promises edge-of-the-seat drama as school football’s finest battle for survival in the Lifebuoy Ball Blaster 2025. Every point counts — and one mistake could end a dream run.
Stay tuned to Sri Lankan Sports TV for live coverage, photos, and exclusive post-match reactions from the players and coaches.
