Sri Lanka Cricket’s premier domestic women’s Twenty20 competition, the Women’s National Super League (WNSL) T20 2026, has successfully concluded a competitive season that showcased rising talent and strengthened the depth of women’s cricket in the country. The tournament, which commenced on January 8, 2026, featured four representative sides — Team Blues, Team Greys, Team Greens and Team Reds — competing in a round-robin league followed by a final at the P.
