The 2021 SLC Invitational T20 League or Dialog Invitational T20 League (for sponsors) was a Twenty20 cricket tournament that took place in Sri Lanka from 12 to 24 August 2021.[1] All the matches were played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, in Kandy,[2] and were used as preparation for South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka and the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[3] Four teams took part, with the top two sides playing each other in the final.[4]
Both of the matches scheduled to take place on the opening day of the tournament were rescheduled to the following day due to rain.[5] Following a COVID-19 case in the team hotel, the matches scheduled for 20 August 2021 were moved back by one day.[6] In the final group match, SLC Reds beat SLC Greens by six wickets to join SLC Greys in the final of the tournament.[7] In the final, SLC Greys beat SLC Reds by 42 runs to win the tournament.[8] Minod Bhanuka was named the player of the match in the final and Dasun Shanaka was named the player of the series.[9]
