Big Match
Big Match (also known as March Madness) is an annual school cricket match played between rival schools in Sri Lanka. These schools have played against one another for many years, some for over a century. Big Matches have become an important part of modern Sri Lankan culture, with both school children and adults taking part in the activity.
