Colts secured a narrow 185-184 victory over Berger in the Major Clubs Tournament on 30 August 2026. The match, played under limited overs rules, ended with the home side holding their nerve in a tight finish. The result leaves the table looking very different from where it stood before the game.
Colts move into second place with six points from four matches, while Berger remain sixth on three points from three games. The home side have now won three of their four outings, losing only once. Berger's record sits at one win and two defeats, and they will need to find consistency to climb further.
Colts' recent form has been unpredictable. They posted 189 against Polissporta on 28 August, then dropped to 99 in a 98-98 draw with Bloomfield two days later. Before that, they lost 197-115 to Panadura and won 227-149 against Nondescripts. Their last outing saw them fall 60-56 to the Cricket Club "Ace Capital".
Berger have been involved in several close contests of late. They edged Kurunegala Youth 70-66 on 28 August, then lost 92-91 to Bloomfield on 22 August. Their match against Colombo on 20 August ended 113-110 in defeat, and on 18 August they suffered a 235-234 loss to Polissporta. Their last game was a 105-79 defeat by Nugegoda Sports Club.
The one-run margin suggests this was a match decided in the final moments. By then, both sides had shown they could compete at this level, but only one could take the points. The gap between second and sixth place remains three points, and Berger will know they cannot afford to drop further.
