Initially, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said that players would only be considered for the 2019 Cricket World Cup if they played in this tournament.[4] Lasith Malinga was originally expected to play in the tournament and miss out on some part of the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL).[5] The SLC then changed its stance, granting permission for Malinga to miss the tournament and play in the IPL.[6][7] However, days before the start of the tournament, Malinga was listed as playing in a press release issued by Sri Lanka Cricket.[8] Malinga played for Galle in the opening fixture of the tournament, the day after appearing for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL.[9] In the match against Kandy, he took seven wickets for 49 runs, his best figures in List A cricket.[10]
Following the conclusion of the round-robin matches, Galle and Colombo had progressed to the tournament final.[11] Dambulla won the third place play-off match, after they beat Kandy by 94 runs.[12] The final finished as a no result, after rain stopped play during the innings break, therefore Colombo and Galle shared the title.[13] Angelo Mathews was named the best batsman of the tournament, Lasith Malinga the best bowler and Dhananjaya de Silva was named the player of the tournament.[14]
