Lanka Premier League 2022 cricket starts on December 6 - watch live streaming in India

The Lanka Premier League 2022 will kick off on December 6, 2022. The tournament was initially scheduled for July-August earlier this year but the LPL was postponed due to the political turmoil and economic issues in Sri Lanka.

Hambantota, Pallekele and Colombo (RPS) will host the LPL 2022 over 18 days. Colombo Stars, Dambulla Aura, Galle Gladiators, Jaffna Kings and Kandy Falcons are the five teams which will feature in the upcoming edition. Two-time champions Jaffna Kings will lock horns with Galle Gladiators in the season opener at Hambantota.

The LPL 2022 will follow a double round-robin format for the league stage, followed by the playoffs, featuring the top-four teams.

The first and second-placed teams will play in Qualifier 1, while the third and fourth-placed teams will go up against each other in the Eliminator. The winner of Qualifier 1 advances to the final. Meanwhile, the winner of the Eliminator will take on the loser of Qualifier 1 for a place in the title-decider. The final will be played on December 23.

Jaffna Kings have won the previous editions (2020 and 2021) of the Lanka Premier League, beating Galle Gladiators on both occasions.
