In December 2017, the match between Chilaw Marians Cricket Club and Burgher Recreation Club finished as a tie.[8] In January 2018, the Plate League match between Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club and Sri Lanka Army Sports Club also finished as a tie.[9] Chilaw Marians Cricket Club won the tournament, after remaining unbeaten throughout the competition.[10] Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club finished bottom of the Plate Group and were relegated to Tier B.[11]
Following the conclusion of the Premier League Tournament, the 2017–18 Super Four Provincial Tournament took place, featuring four teams based on the Centers of Excellence in Sri Lanka.[6] In February 2019, Sri Lanka Cricket named Kaushal Silva as the tournament's Best Batsman, Chanaka Komasaru as the Best Bowler and Sachithra Serasinghe as the Player of the Tournament.[12]
