Team Preview:
The Dambulla Viiking, led by Captain Dasun Shanaka, have been fairly remarkable with the bat. Samit Patel and Niroshan Dickwella have contributed comprehensively, while Malinda Pushpakumara and Anwar Ali have led the bowling roster. Today match prediction states that their middle-order has outshone right through the competition. The Viiking will look to withstand their momentum before the playoffs as per the betting tips.
On a similar note, the Jaffna Stallions would also look to assimilate momentum after a rough loss to the Colombo Kings last week. Match tips say they shouldn’t be too worried, though. With skipper Thisara Perera and Avishka Fernando attacking all cylinders, the Stallions are trivial favorites heading into this match. Jaffna Stallions will heavily want Shoaib Malik and Johnson Charles to pull up their socks before the business end of the season, as predicted by match tips.
The venue, Pitch Report, and Toss Prediction:
The pitch at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium has considerably slowed down from the beginning of the tournament. As this is the second game of the day, betting tips say that the spinner will have a say in the proceedings. They should extract considerable turn off the wicket. And trouble the batters in the middle overs.
Despite the bowlers making variations, the batsmen shouldn’t be shy, and we shall witness them attacking from the start of the innings. Today match prediction claims chasing will be difficult on the used pitch. And thus, the skippers will choose to bat first on winning the toss.
Key Players to watch:
Opening batsman Upul Tharanga, Captain Dasun Shanaka, and the English all-rounder Samit Patel of Dambulla Viikings will be vital players in the game match tips.
Betting tips envisage that Pakistani veteran batsman Shoaib Malik, leg spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, and skipper Thisara Perera of the Jaffna Stallions will be the key players to watch out for in this game.
