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.
