THE LOWDOWN

COLOMBO STRIKERS

Colombo Strikers have begun the 2023 Lanka Premier League campaign with a loss followed by victory, having accumulated two similar scores with the bat. After being bowled out for 152 and losing by 21 runs vs Jaffna Kings, a score of 157/6 proved easy enough to defend, restricting B-Love Kandy to just 130/8 response, winning by 27 runs. Babar Azam unsurprisingly was the star with the bat, scoring 59 from 52 balls.

DAMBULLA AURA

Dambulla Aura come into this one straight off the back of their match against B-Love Kandy yesterday, which didn’t go their way following a poor showing with the ball. Dhananjaya de Silva had top scored with the bat, leading Dambulla to 156/6 after winning the toss and batting first. But the bowlers lacked potency, allowing every Kandy player to gain at least a start and ultimately reach their victory target with 1.3 overs remaining.

THE PREDICTION

Colombo Strikers have momentum and confidence on their side following their most recent victory, not to mention a world class point of difference on their side with the bat. Babar Azam is just one Colombo player who could cash in here based on what the Dambulla Aura bowlers offered on Friday and it will be very difficult for them to match Colombo’s score whether they be batting first or second. Expect the Strikers to pick up the points.
