By M. Shamil Amit

The penultimate round matches of the Premier Tier A Super Eight inter-club cricket tournament are scheduled to be worked off from today.

Fancied CCC, the defending champions, though suffering a surprise first innings loss to sixth-placed Saracens SC maintained their position as table leaders and they are down to meet second-placed NCC at P. Sara Stadium.

Third placed Chilaw Marians CC, one of the two teams to record an outright victory in the last round of matches which they achieved against Army SC, will be aiming to continue to keep up that record when they meet Colts CC at the SSC ground.

Ragama CC, lying fifth in the points table and the other team to record an outright win in the last round against Colts CC, will confront Army SC at CC ground while sixth placed Saracens SC will meet lowly placed BRC at the FTZ ground in Katunayake.

The match schedule:
CCC vs NCC at P. Sara Stadium, Chilaw Marians CC vs Colts CC at SSC, Army SC vs Ragama CC at CCC and Saracens SC vs BRC at FTZ Katunayake
