SSC Ground in Line to Host Lanka Premier League Matches

Published

Editor

The historic Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) Ground in Colombo could soon be added to the list of venues for the upcoming Lanka Premier League (LPL), with discussions underway to include the iconic ground in this year’s tournament schedule, according to leading local media reports.

SSC has emerged as a strong contender following the recent installation of floodlights, a significant infrastructure upgrade completed ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which Sri Lanka will co-host with India. The new lighting system enables the venue to host day-night matches, making it a viable option for LPL fixtures scheduled during the July–August window.

If confirmed, the inclusion of SSC would mark an important expansion of the tournament’s venue pool. In recent editions, the LPL has relied heavily on R. Premadasa Stadium, Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, and Dambulla International Stadium. Introducing a fourth venue — particularly one located in the heart of Colombo — would provide greater scheduling flexibility and ease logistical demands on teams and organisers.

Cricket administrators are also understood to be keen on capitalising on SSC’s rich cricketing heritage and loyal supporter base. The ground’s compact layout is expected to generate a vibrant atmosphere for night games, while its traditionally sporting pitch could add a new tactical challenge for teams competing in the franchise tournament.

The move is also seen as part of a broader strategy to maximise the use of facilities upgraded for major international events. Rather than limiting SSC’s enhanced infrastructure to the World Cup alone, Sri Lanka Cricket is reportedly exploring opportunities to integrate the venue more consistently into domestic and franchise competitions.

While an official confirmation is yet to be made, negotiations are said to be progressing positively, with SSC increasingly viewed as a strong candidate to join the venue lineup for the forthcoming Lanka Premier League season

Viran Chamuditha produced a match-winning century as Sri Lanka Under-19 secured a crucial five-wicket victory over South Africa Under-19 in their Super Six encounter of the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026, played in Bulawayo on Tuesday.

The victory keeps Sri Lanka firmly in contention for a semi-final berth, delivering a timely boost as the tournament enters its decisive phase.

After winning the toss, South Africa opted to bat first and posted a competitive 261 for 7 from their 50 overs. Opener Jorich Van Schalkwyk anchored the innings with a composed 116 off 130 deliveries, striking 13 fours and two sixes while holding the innings together after early pressure.

Adnaan Lagadien provided support with a steady 46, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers ensured South Africa were unable to fully capitalise. Left-arm seamer Vigneshwaran Akash led the attack with an impressive spell, finishing with 4 for 46, removing key batters at crucial stages. Chamika Heenatigala delivered a disciplined performance, conceding just 29 runs in his 10 overs, while Kavija Gamage chipped in with two wickets to restrict South Africa in the latter overs.

In reply, Sri Lanka produced a controlled and confident chase, driven by opener Viran Chamuditha, who displayed maturity and composure beyond his years. Chamuditha dominated the bowling attack with a superb 110 off 94 balls, laced with 13 boundaries and a six, keeping Sri Lanka comfortably ahead of the required rate.

After the early dismissal of Dimantha Mahavithana, Chamuditha found strong support from Senuja Wekunagoda, who contributed a valuable 48, as the pair laid a solid foundation for the chase. Although wickets fell during the middle overs, Sri Lanka maintained control of the contest.

Captain Vimath Dinsara added a brisk 32, while Chamika Heenatigala and Dulnith Sigera showed calm heads in the closing stages to guide Sri Lanka home. The target was reached in the 46th over, with Sri Lanka finishing on 265 for 5, sealing victory with four overs to spare.

The result keeps Sri Lanka Under-19’s semi-final ambitions alive as they look to build further momentum in the Super Six stage of the tournament.

Peterite Mayooran Kubheran continued his rapid rise in junior tennis by clinching the Boys’ Under-18 title at the YETI SSC Open Tennis Championship 2026, concluded at the SSC courts.

Kubheran delivered a composed and commanding performance in the final, defeating Rehan Gunawardhane 6–3, 6–2 in straight sets. Displaying maturity beyond his years, the young prospect controlled proceedings from the baseline, combining depth, accuracy, and smart shot selection to keep his opponent under constant pressure. Gunawardhane fought hard, particularly in the opening set, but found it difficult to break through Kubheran’s consistency and court coverage as the match wore on.

The triumph capped off an outstanding fortnight for Kubheran, who had earlier secured the Boys’ Under-16 title at the same tournament. By completing the double across two age categories, he further cemented his reputation as one of Sri Lanka’s most promising junior tennis talents.

Meanwhile, the Women’s Doubles final provided plenty of excitement, with Tuvini de Alwis and Biyanka Acquistapace emerging champions after a hard-fought three-set battle against Gehansa Methnadi and Akesha Silva. De Alwis and Acquistapace edged a tense first-set tie-break 7–6, dropped the second set 4–6, before regrouping strongly to claim the deciding set and the title.

The YETI SSC Open Tennis Championship once again showcased the depth of emerging talent in Sri Lankan tennis, with several young players delivering impressive performances across categories.
