Colombo Sports Hub and Colombo Tuskers share Peterite Cricket League title

Colombo Sports Hub and Colombo Tuskers have been declared joint champions of the 2026 Peterite Cricket League after bad weather prevented the final from being completed at St Peter's College on November 8.

Colombo Tuskers had scored 75 runs in six overs when play was interrupted. With no further play possible, officials decided to award the title to both teams rather than leave one outright winner.

In the Cup Championship semi-finals, Colombo Sports Hub made 90 in six overs to defeat Resistance Panthers, with contributions from Manelker de Silva and Dushan Hemantha. Colombo Tuskers overcame Top Knock Titans in the other semi-final, helped by 32 from Shalith Fernando. Bamba Patriots won the Plate Championship, beating Foundation Guardians by nine runs.

The two-day competition brought together eight teams and returned after a break of more than a decade. Manelker de Silva was named player of the tournament, Shalith Fernando best batsman, Inesh Fernando best bowler and Dushan Hemantha best fielder.
