The 2018 SLC T20 League was a domestic Twenty20 cricket tournament that was held in Sri Lanka, between 21 August and 2 September 2018.[1][2] Four teams took part in the tournament: Colombo, Dambulla, Galle and Kandy.[3][4] The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Pallekele International Cricket Stadium and the R. Premadasa Stadium hosted all the matches.[5]

The third match, between Colombo and Kandy, finished as a tie, therefore going to a Super Over to determine the winner.[6] However, the match was still tied after the Super Over, with both teams scoring five runs each.[6] Colombo were declared the eventual winners, as they had scored the most boundaries.[6]

Colombo were the first team to qualify for the final, after remaining unbeaten in their first four matches.[7][8] They were joined in the final by Dambulla, who finished second in the group stage.[9] Colombo won the final by 7 wickets, with Upul Tharanga scoring an unbeaten century.[10]
