The group stage of the Sri Lanka Cricket(SLC) Major Limited Over Tournament concluded yesterday(18) with 8 teams making it to the knock-out stage.
CCC, who were runners up in the T20 tournament this year, were knocked out after a shock defeat at the hands of Air Force SC paving the way for BRC and T20 champions NCC to qualify from group C. NCC are no doubt one of the favorites and they will be boosted by the return of their national stars in the likes of Dinesh Chandimal and Upul Tharanga while Farveez Maharoof and Lasith Malinga are set to return after being rested in their final group stage game.
NCC are set to meet Colts CC, who qualified as the second placed team from group B, in quarterfinal number three at the SSC grounds in Colombo; the game will be telecast live on ThePapare.com
Saracens SC, who surprised many during the group stage, will meet Tamil Union who just about scraped through to the knockout stage in the first quarterfinal at the FTZ grounds in Katunayake while one of the favorites to go on and win the title, Chilaw Marians will meet BRC at the P.Sara Oval in quarterfinal number two.
The other quarterfinal will be played at the Colts grounds in Colombo where Ragama CC will take on an in-form SSC unit.
The four quarterfinals are set to be played on the 21st of March, with the semifinals and final to follow on the 23rd and 25th of the same month, respectively.
