Total washout in U23 Premier tournament

The last weekend of the preliminary round of the under 23 tournament saw only 25.4 overs bowled between Matara S.C. and Kurunegala Y.C.C. due to rain, in which Kurunegala S.C.C. managed 56 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in only 26.4 overs. All the other games were washed out.

Eight teams managed to qualify for the quarterfinals, with CCC ending up with most points (39.175), followed by Pandaura S.C. (31.765) and S.C.C. (30.985). The other teams that qualified are Sebastanites (28.35), Kurunegala Y.C.C. (21.765), Moors S.C. (19.46) N.C.C. (18.615) and finally Antonians (18.135).

Thus next week, SSC will meet Antonians, Sebastanites play NCC, Panadura meet Moors, and KYCC play CCC.

In the final three weeks of the tournament all matches will be played for three days rather than two.
