Team Previews
SLC Greys Preview
SLC Greys enter the final in fine form, finishing second on the points table but dominating their semi-final clash. Their batting unit has been firing on all cylinders, with Nuwanidu Fernando leading the charts for them with 138 runs. In their last outing against SLC Blues, they chased down 178 with ease, thanks to contributions from multiple top-order batters.
The opening duo of Niroshan Dickwella and Dinesh Chandimal set the tone early, combining aggression with smart shot selection. Lahiru Udara hasn’t fired much but remains a dangerous prospect. In the middle order, skipper Charith Asalanka’s 45 off 28 balls and Fernando’s 50 off 34 balls in the last match underline the team’s depth.
With the ball, Binura Fernando has been their standout bowler, claiming 4 wickets in the tournament. Support from Vijayakanth Viyaskanth and Maheesh Theekshana adds variety to the attack. The Greys’ balanced squad, their ability to chase big totals, and their consistency under pressure make them strong favourites in this clash.
SLC Greens Preview
SLC Greens have been the most consistent side this season, topping the points table after the league stage. They come into this final after a massive 72-run win over SLC Blues in their last match. Despite early batting collapses, their middle order has been resilient, with Kamindu Mendis scoring a steady 50 off 39 balls and Chamika Karunaratne contributing a vital 41 in the semi-final.
Kamil Mishara leads their batting charts with 114 runs, while players like Kusal Mendis and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are capable of explosive starts. However, the top order has been inconsistent, something they must address against the Greys’ bowling attack.
Their bowling has been superb, with Chamika Karunaratne (5 wickets) and Dushan Hemantha’s brilliant 4/18 in the last game proving match-winning. If their bowlers can strike early and keep Asalanka and Fernando quiet, they can turn the game in their favour.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
SLC Greys enter the final with tremendous momentum, having chased down a massive 178 in the semi-final with overs to spare. Their batting line-up is in peak form, with contributions from almost every player, making them far less dependent on individual brilliance. The presence of experienced campaigners like Dinesh Chandimal and Charith Asalanka, coupled with aggressive openers, makes their batting deep and dangerous. Their bowling unit, spearheaded by Binura Fernando and supported by Theekshana, can exploit Colombo’s conditions effectively. While SLC Greens have a strong bowling attack, their batting inconsistencies could be costly against such a well-rounded opponent. For these reasons, SLC Greys stand as favourites to lift the trophy.
