Colombo Kaps vs Kandy Royals prediction

The Colombo Kaps finished third in the league phase with four victories and four defeats from their eight matches. Three of their four defeats were by fairly low run-scoring margins and so the Kaps will be confident that their four losses does not necessarily reflect their overall quality.

The Kandy Royals managed just three wins with five defeats in their eight matches. Kandy stumbled their way into the top four, having lost four of their opening six games. The Royals do boast the top run scorer, Lahiru Udana, and the leading wicket-taker, Nuwan Thushara.

Kandy Royals are reliant on their two aforementioned stars but in a one-off game that is perhaps the best position to be in with genuine match winners.

Colombo Kaps vs Kandy Royals tip: Nuwan Thushara to take two or more wickets & Lahiru Udana to score 30+ runs
