The National Super League 4-Day Tournament will be making its return through the upcoming 2025 edition from March 13 onwards. Much like the preceding edition back in 2024, the 2025 event will also be a five-team affair between Galle, Kandy, Jaffna, Colombo and Dambulla.
Launched in 2022, the National Super League 4-Day Tournament is a first-class cricket competition organized by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). The opening match of the upcoming 2025 edition will be played between Galle and Kandy at Hambantota between March 13 and 16. The match will also coincide with Jaffna’s four-day clash against Colombo, albeit at Galle.
As many as 10 matches will be played in the lead-up to the finals of the 2025 National Super League 4-Day Tournament, with each team facing each other twice in a double round-robin format. The top two sides at the end of the opening round will qualify for the finals, set to be played in late April.
The Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota, the Galle International Stadium in Galle, the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium in Dambulla, the iconic R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele are the five venues that will host the first 10 matches of the competition. The Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo will be hosting the final to conclude the month-long tournament.
Galle will start out as defending champions, having won the previous edition back in May 2024 by defeating Kandy in a one-sided final.
