The Lanka T10, also known as the Lanka T10 Super League, is a T10 cricket league in Sri Lanka owned by T Ten Sports Management. The league is organised by Sri Lanka Cricket in partnership with the Abu Dhabi T10 league, with the first season being played in December 2024.

Contents

Matches are played with 10-overs-a-side, with the duration of each match approximately 90 minutes. The tournament is played in a round-robin format with six teams competing. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

History

In June 2023, Sri Lanka Cricket announced the launch of the league, with both men's and women's tournaments proposed. The first season was scheduled to be played from 12 to 23 December 2023 in Colombo, but was postponed due to financial issues. [6] [7]

2024: 1st season

The first season was held from 12th to 19th December 2024 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Kandy. Each team played seven group stage matches. Seven of the 21 group-stage matches were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to poor weather, with another three unable to be completed for the same reason. Jaffna Titans won all five of their completed matches, heading the group table, with Hambantota Bangla Tigers in second place with three wins. Galle Marvels and Kandy Bolts, the only two other sides to win at least one match, finished third and fourth in the group and qualified for the playoff stage of the competition. [8] [9]

Galle defeated Kandy in the eliminator, before being defeated by Hambantota in the second qualifier. Jaffna had advanced to the final after defeating Hambantota in the first qualifier, but lost the final by 26 runs. [8]
