THE LOWDOWN
DAMBULLA AURA
Dambulla Aura will need pick themselves up after suffering an agonising super-over defeat less than 24 hours ago following a tie against Galle Titans. Chasing 181 to win, Dambulla could only run a bye off the final ball of their innings with two required for victory. Having then struck nine runs from their super over, Galle bettered that total in just three balls, scoring four, followed by a wide ball before a six won the day.
JAFFNA KINGS
Jaffna Kings got off to the ideal start in the defence of their latest Lanka Premier League title, beating Colombo Strikers by 21 runs. After being asked to bat, Jaffna accumulated 173/5 with all of their seven batters who spent time at the crease scoring at least double figures. The top scorer was Towhid Hridoy, who made 54 before the bowlers kept Colombo nicely in check with the ball, taking regular wickets, including the crucial one of Babar Azam for just 7. Two run-outs is also testament to a good fielding effort as the Kings fired on all cylinders.
THE PREDICTION
For Dambulla Aura to rally themselves and go again after such a harsh way to lose is a tough ask, especially against a side of Jaffna Kings’ quality. The winning mentality of the Kings is strong and they look an impressive all-round unit with bat and ball once again. It would be no surprise to see them take advantage of an Dambulla unit lacking cutting edge when it comes to crunch moments, so backing Jaffna Kings to record back-to-back wins feels like the right move.
BETTING TIP: JAFFNA KINGS TO WIN
