    The international cricket calendar these days feels like a cake with a quarter already sliced off – thanks to the glitz and glamour of the Indian Premier League.

    The National Super League will come to a head this week after the grand finale with Dambulla locking horns with Galle at SSC. These two heavyweights were the pick of the bunch during the group stages, with Dambulla chalking up two wins from their four outings. Kandy and Colombo finished third and fourth respectively, but it was a case of blowing hot and cold for Colombo — they showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately lacked the staying power. The real damp squib, however, was Jaffna.
