Sports Diary for this week

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which has reached the Super 8 stage, will continue with 11 decisive encounters lined up through the week before the commencement of the knockouts from June 27.

Sri Lanka Women cricketers, who have already snatched the three-match ODI series 2-0, will take on West Indies Women at Sooriyawewa on Friday in a dead-rubber affair.

The two teams will then switch into the three-match WT20 series, which begins from Monday (24).

The Dialog Schools Rugby League, which kicked off last weekend, continues with a card of eight games this weekend.

Due to Friday being a Poya Day holiday, matches have been scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.

The SLC Major Club Limited Overs Tournament continues this week with 10 matches scheduled on two days, before the competition is set to take a month-long break.
