Sri Lanka, Nov. 6 -- The winners of the 42nd Observer-Mobitel Most Popular Schoolboy and Schoolgirl Cricketers of the Year will be announced on Sunday (8). The last set of polling coupons were accepted until last Monday.

The heavy polling in the first term had a temporary shutdown in the last week of March due to Covid-19 pandemic. But once it was overcome after a short break, the voting gathered its momentum again.

In the last ten days of voting up to the finish, it once again slowed down. But by then, most of the top contenders have maintained their lead till the finish line.

Though there were some clear indications about the leading cricketers, anything could happen in the last moment as the voting closed.
