The 2019 Super Provincial One Day Tournament was a List A cricket tournament that was played in Sri Lanka between 4 and 11 April 2019. [1] [2] Four teams took part in the competition: Colombo, Dambulla, Galle and Kandy, with Galle being the defending champions. [3]

Initially, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said that players would only be considered for the 2019 Cricket World Cup if they played in this tournament. [4] Lasith Malinga was originally expected to play in the tournament and miss out on some part of the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL). [5] The SLC then changed its stance, granting permission for Malinga to miss the tournament and play in the IPL. [6] [7] However, days before the start of the tournament, Malinga was listed as playing in a press release issued by Sri Lanka Cricket. [8] Malinga played for Galle in the opening fixture of the tournament, the day after appearing for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. [9] In the match against Kandy, he took seven wickets for 49 runs, his best figures in List A cricket. [10]

Following the conclusion of the round-robin matches, Galle and Colombo had progressed to the tournament final. [11] Dambulla won the third place play-off match, after they beat Kandy by 94 runs. [12] The final finished as a no result, after rain stopped play during the innings break, therefore Colombo and Galle shared the title. [13] Angelo Mathews was named the best batsman of the tournament, Lasith Malinga the best bowler and Dhananjaya de Silva was named the player of the tournament. [14]
