Match abandoned Dambulla Viiking 42 for 3 (Dickwella 28*, Hasaranga 1-0) in seven overs vs Jaffna Stallions
Only seven overs of the Jaffna Stallions' match against the Dambulla Viiking could be played as rain forced the teams to go off, before continuing more or less relentlessly to force the match to be abandoned. The no-result means the teams take a point each and remain atop the table. The Stallions, who have a superior net run rate, will continue to be No. 1.
Stallions had had the better of the overs that were bowled, after putting the Viiking in to bat. Suranga Lakmal trapped Sadeera Samarawickrama in front in the second over, Duanne Olivier had Angelo Perera caught at mid-on, and Samit Patel was stumped off the bowling of Wanindu Hasaranga.
Niroshan Dickwella had amassed 28 off 21 balls when the rains forced the teams to leave the field.
Both teams have two more league matches remaining. They've both qualified for the semi-finals.
