That is according to Dilz, where he quoted sanga that the provincial matches will be played at WC venues. However, according to the schedule at cricinfo, matches will be played at SSC. let's see what happens.
Provincial games to be played at WC venues
When the question was raised as to if the Skipper was satisfied with the ground preparations and the pitches specially at R.Premadasa,Pallekeke and Sooriyawewa Sangakkara said that Provincial games would be played on these pitches so that they would get accustomed to the conditions.”The World cup pitches weren’t used for the Domestic games and we hope that the pitches wouldn’t be as difficult for batting as we saw in the Domestic Premier league”said Sangakkara.
One other thing to note is there are no teams called Basnahira North and South. It will be a single team from Basnahira while a new team will be entering with the name Uva.
