Sports Diary for this week

The ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is on the brink of reaching the Super 8 stage as Sri Lanka lost all hopes of reaching the next level after two defeats and a no result.

Sri Lanka has one more game left from their group stage, which is against the Netherlands on Monday (17) at Gros Islet, a dead rubber contest.

Meanwhile, the much anticipated Dialog Schools Rugby League kicks off this Friday (14) with St. Joseph’s hosting Vidyartha at Havelock Park.

Seven more matches are scheduled for Saturday (15) at several venues in Colombo and Kandy with the game between Trinity and S. Thomas’ at Pallekele taking centre stage.

The SLC Major Club Limited Overs Tournament too got off from last week and continues with eight matches scheduled per match day.
