On 16 March 2020, following the conclusion of the group stage fixtures, Sri Lanka Cricket postponed the rest of the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] In July 2020, Sri Lanka Cricket announced that the tournament would resume on 14 July 2020, to allow for the completion of the Plate League and Super Eight rounds.[7][8] However, the resumption was further delayed by the tournament committee, pending approval of the amended tournament rules and structure.[9] After a further delay due to the 2020 Sri Lankan parliamentary elections,[10] the tournament restarted on 10 August 2020.[11]
