Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2022 has been scheduled to begin from 6th December to 23rd December, confirmed by Sri Lanka Cricket.
The 3rd edition of LPL and the upcoming edition will be played in the same window as the previous year. It was officially scheduled for August but due to Sri Lanka’s economic crisis, the tournament was postponed.
Young cricketers like Pathum Nissanka and Maheesh Theekshana have made their names in World Cricket. LPL has taken a big step as their tournament is going to collide with BBL(Big Bash League) which is considered to be one of the biggest tournaments in Franchise Cricket.
5 teams-based tournament will be played in a Round-Robin league where every team plays 8 matches at home and away type just like the IPL.
The tournament is going to be played at Colombo, Jaffna, Kandy, Galle, and Dambulla. There is also a direct match for the final which makes the top two finish critical.
It won’t be wrong to say that this format makes every contest vital as having a top-two finish is invaluable as the losing team gets a second shot at the final.
