CP-NCP clash in inter-Provincial final Two equally good teams Central Province and North Central Province will lock horns in the inter provincial four day cricket tournament final which begins at the R. Premadasa Stadium today. The match should turn out to be an exciting contest with a number of test players and several other promising national players anxious to prove themselves ahead of the Australian home series. At the end of the preliminary round North Central Province finished on top with a total of 54.09 points while Central Province were the runners up with 48.15 points. In fact Central Province led the points table until the start of the last game but a shock defeat against the same opposition pushed them into the second place. This time they will be out to avenge that defeat and settle the scores after having completely dominated the tournament. Central Province will be further strengthened wth the return of ace off spinner and skipper Muttiah Muralitharan. The teams: Central Province (from): Muttiah Muralitharan (captain), Kumar Sangakkara, Sajith Fernando, Tharanga Paranavithana, Kaushalya Weeraratne, Nuwan Soysa, Ruchira Perera, Mario Villavarayan, Jeewan Mendis, Thilan Samaraweera, Thilina Kandambi, Bathiya Perera, Ranil Dhammika, Nihal Soysa, Hasantha Fernando.
