Singalese Sports Club beat Colts 253 to 250 in the Major Clubs Limited Over tournament on 10 August 2026. The victory moved the visitors level on points with the hosts at the top of the table, though Colts still sit one place above following their superior win tally.
Colts had been unbeaten in five ahead of this fixture, sitting first with ten points from six games. Singalese Sports Club arrived second on nine points from five matches, one game behind but with a chance to close the gap.
The result ended Colts' run of dominance in head-to-head encounters and handed the visitors a crucial three points. Singalese Sports Club now sits level on points with the league leaders, though Colts retain top spot on wins.
Recent form suggested a tight contest. Colts had suffered heavy defeats in their last two outings — 118 to 232 against Nugegoda Sports Club and 453 to 595 versus Colombo — raising questions about their consistency. Singalese Sports Club came into the match with mixed results, including a 369 to 264 win over Colombo earlier in January.
The one-run margin speaks to a match decided in the final overs. With both sides having one defeat between them this season, the standings could shift dramatically in the coming rounds. Three or four decisive moments will likely shape the remainder of the tournament.
