The Major League Tournament (formerly known as the Premier Trophy) is the main domestic first-class cricket competition in Sri Lanka.

[4] The match was drawn after four days play (extended from the scheduled three) and Colombo were declared the winners as they had the larger first innings total.

At this point, the match should have ended but it was extended by another day so that the question of first innings lead could be settled.

Colombo were eventually all out for 669 on day four, their innings including three centuries by Kamindu Mendis (105), captain Ashan Priyanjan (100) and Chamindu Wijesinghe (139).

There was only time for another sixteen overs before the close but the match was played out and Tamil Union scored 145/4 in their second innings.
