What is Sri Lanka Women’s Division One in cricket?

The Sri Lanka Women’s Division One Tournament is a domestic One Day International cricket tournament. It is organized by Sri Lanka cricket and has been played since 2007.

The tournament has been extremely volatile in terms of participating teams. Currently, there are over 25 teams who once participated in the tournament but are now defunct.

Each team plays the other in a single round-robin format. A match win is worth four points, an abandoned or a match result fetches two points for both sides, and a loss is worth zero points. Teams also earn bonus points based on their performance in each match. At the end of the league matches, the team with the most points is crowned the champion.

The Sri Lanka Navy Sports Club is the most successful side of the tournament, having won seven titles. Five of these titles were won in succession between 2012 to 2016.
