THE LOWDOWN
JAFFNA KINGS
After having suffered consecutive defeats, the pressure was on Jaffna Kings to recover quickly and find solutions. That’s exactly what they did vs Colombo Strikers. Bowling first, the Strikers stuck to their task despite taking some tap during the powerplay and most importantly, they took wickets just before a Colombo batter managed to break away from them. Eventually Jaffna restricted their opponents to 146/8, which they chased down with six wickets and over five overs to spare in a superbly aggressive display of batting.
B-LOVE KANDY
Confidence among the B-Love Kandy squad must be incredibly high when considering that the last time they took to the pitch, Wanindu Hasaranga’s side ended up thrashing Galle Titans with the Kandy skipper himself playing a starring role. Batting first, Hasaranga top scored with 64 from just 27 balls as B-Love Kandy racked up 203/5. As Galle Titans looked to hit out in response, Kandy’s response with the ball was ruthless, Hasaranga taking three wickets and Kandy ten, dismissing the Titans for 114, winning by a whopping 89 runs.
THE PREDICTION
Although B-Love Kandy have been a great form recently in terms of results, this particular match sees them return back to Colombo where they struggled in the opening leg of the tournament, losing their two games played at R. Premadasa Stadium. They are also coming up against a Jaffna Kings side who laid down a marker vs Colombo Strikers, threatening a return to the form which has seen them establish themselves as kings of the Lanka Premier League. On this ground the value play is to back Jaffna Kings to extend Kandy’s rotten run here and claim another important win.
BETTING TIP: JAFFNA KINGS TO WIN
