Lovers Quarrel

The Big Match famously known as the "Lovers' Quarrel" is the third oldest schools cricket match in the history of the game in Sri Lanka. The series began way back in 1905 and Mahinda has won 23 of the matches while Richmond has won 23. Having broken a 32-year deadlock of draws, the talented Mahindians, under the leadership of Rajith Priyan, registered an emphatic 10-wicket win over Richmond in the 2008 encounter. However the two teams are balanced this time and a keen tussle can be expected at the Galle Stadium which is a batting paradise.
