After a win in their first match of the season against Panadura Sports Club where they chased down 258 runs in the fourth innings and won the match by 8 wickets, they backed it up with another strong performance in the last match against Colts Cricket Club. Police SC posted a competitive first-innings total of 317, anchored by Dulash Udayanga’s 94 and Ashen Bandara’s 79.
Their bowlers then stepped up, restricting Colts to 274 to secure a vital 43-run lead, with Nipun Premaratne claiming four crucial wickets. However, the second innings proved challenging as they were bundled out for 179, despite a fighting 48 from Chathuranga Kumara.
Setting a target of 223, time ran out with Colts at 15/0. Although unable to force an outright win, securing first-innings points ensures Police SC continues their positive momentum in the tournament. Though they were saved by time in their last match, Police SC's collapse in their second innings in the last match is a wake up call for them to not be too complacent and they will look to deliver a much better performance with the bat.

Chilaw's poor run of form in the tournament continues as they suffered a heavy 9-wicket defeat against Nugegoda SWC. Batting first, Chilaw struggled to build partnerships and were bowled out for a below-par 203, with the lower order offering the only real resistance.
Nugegoda responded strongly, posting 321 runs thanks to solid half-centuries from Tillakaratne Sampath and Pathum Kumara, securing a decisive first-innings lead of 118 runs. In the second innings, Chilaw attempted a comeback with a fighting 51 from captain Thanuka Dabare and 44 from Sakuna Liyanage.
However, the rest of the lineup collapsed against the bowling of Sampath and Madhuka Liyanapathiranage, ending their innings at 211. Setting a small target of 94 runs, Nugegoda chased it down comfortably. Lohan de Zoysa struck an unbeaten 51 to guide his team to a comprehensive victory.

The Weather at Colombo for the next three days forecasts significant interruptions. Friday brings scattered thunderstorms with heavy 75% precipitation and strong winds. Conditions improve slightly over the weekend, with Saturday seeing light rain and Sunday remaining mostly cloudy. While temperatures hold steady at 29°C, persistent humidity and wet conditions could impact play significantly.
The pitch at Colts Cricket Ground offers a balanced surface that supports both batters and bowlers. Matches at this venue have generally been competitive, and none of the last five games have gone into the fourth innings. As a result, a high-scoring contest is expected, with a first-innings total of over 350 runs likely, and the team batting first well placed to secure a lead.
Teams batting first have had the upper hand in four of the last six matches played, managing to secure first-innings leads, with three scores of over 500 being recorded. Conditions are quite good for batting early on Day 1 at the Colts CC Ground.
Chilaw CC enter this contest as the underdogs after suffering back-to-back losses, while Police Sports Club are in excellent form and will be looking to continue their momentum at the top of the table. However, this is expected to be a much more competitive contest, with Police Sports Club likely to take a first-innings lead and the match ultimately ending in a draw.
We predict a draw.
