Lanka Premier League 2026 statistics and player leaders

Kandy Royals wicketkeeper-batter Lahiru Udara scored 434 runs in nine innings, nine more than champion Galle's Sam Harper. Udara averaged 54.25 and struck at 159.56, while Harper's 425 came at the higher strike rate of 163.46.

Jaffna's Kamil Mishara finished third with 411, followed by Galle vice-captain Charith Asalanka on 385. Reeza Hendricks led Dambulla with 294 and completed the final top five.

Udara's 132 not out against Galle was the season's highest innings and powered Kandy to 214/4 in a successful chase of 209. Kamil Mishara made the other hundred, an unbeaten 108 as Jaffna reached 242/2 in Qualifier 1.

Ibrahim Zadran's 95, Kamindu Mendis' unbeaten 88 and Reeza Hendricks' unbeaten 87 complete the top five. Kamindu's innings belongs to Colombo's 21-run win over Dambulla; it is not a Kusal Mendis score.

Galle's Eshan Malinga took 17 wickets in ten matches at an average of 19.29, one ahead of Jaffna's Lizaad Williams. Akif Javed added 15 for Galle, giving the champions two of the top three wicket-takers.

Jaffna pair Dunith Wellalage and Dilshan Madushanka each finished on 14. Wellalage also scored 162 runs, but this page does not turn that two-skill return into an unsupported official all-rounder award.

Dushmantha Chameera took 5/55 against Galle, the tournament's only five-wicket innings and the sixth five-wicket haul in LPL history. Galle still made 220/6 and won by 44 runs, so the best individual bowling return did not produce a Dambulla victory.

Eshan Malinga's 4/26, Nuwan Thushara's 4/29, Akif Javed's 4/40 and Binura Fernando's 4/45 were the other four leading innings returns.

Jaffna's 242/2 against Galle in Qualifier 1 was the highest total. Galle replied with 228/8, making the same playoff the season's highest match aggregate at 470 runs.

Jaffna also made 221/6 against Kandy, Galle posted 220/6 against Dambulla, and Kandy reached 214/4 in the chase led by Udara's unbeaten 132. The final then produced a very different title contest: Jaffna 123 and Galle 126/5.

The official records page currently labels the 88 not out as Kusal Mendis, while the competition's own match report and completed scorecard identify Kamindu Mendis. The official wickets card also displays 'Luke Williams'; Jaffna's squad and completed aggregates identify the 16-wicket bowler as Lizaad Williams.

StumpScope uses Kamindu and Lizaad in the tables above. The official page's highest-average panel is not reproduced because its 81.00 Kamindu figure conflicts with the completed 280-run, ten-innings aggregate; an unresolved derived statistic is omitted rather than guessed.

The aggregates cover all 24 matches from 17 July through the 8 August Final. That includes 20 league fixtures, Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the Final; playoff performances therefore count in player and team totals even though they do not affect league-table points.

The 2 August Dambulla–Jaffna no-result still contributes Dambulla's completed 203/8 innings and Jaffna's bowling figures. No fictional Jaffna chase is added, and later seasons or historical franchise records are outside this cutoff.
