Dambulla Sixers vs Kandy Royals prediction
The vastly experienced all-rounder Angelo Matthews captains Kandy Royals and his leadership will be crucial to their hopes of success in the Lanka Premier League. Matthews can call upon the likes of Wanindu Hasaraga, Moeen Ali and Kusal Perera, so this team looks like a good one on paper and capable of going deep in this tournament.
Dambulla Sixers boast an excellent top order but there may be a question mark regarding their depth and whether they can recover should they end up losing early wickets in a game. Kandy contain wicket takers both with pace and spin, so it would be no surprise if they dominated the middle overs. Therefore, it’s well worth backing the Royals over Dambulla.
