The 2018 Super Provincial One Day Tournament[1] was a List A cricket tournament that was played in Sri Lanka between 2 May and 10 June 2018,[2] following the conclusion of the 2017–18 Super Four Provincial Tournament.[3] Four teams took part in the competition: Colombo, Dambulla, Galle and Kandy.[4] Galle and Colombo qualified for the final, after they finished first and second respectively in the group stage.[5]

The final was originally scheduled to take place on 20 May 2018, but Sri Lanka Cricket issued a statement via Twitter to say that it was postponed indefinitely due to bad weather.[6][7] The final was eventually played on 10 June 2018, at the Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, after nearly a delay of one month.[8] Galle won the tournament, after beating Colombo by 75 runs in the rescheduled final.[9]
