Pre-Match Analysis:

Dambulla Giants were ineffective with both bat and ball and paid a huge prize as they lost to Jaffna Kings by 9 wickets. Jordan Cox gave them a thumping start however middle order wasn’t able to capitalize on it as a result they managed to score 121 runs on the board with the loss of 9 wickets. Key players Sikandar Raza and Dasun Shanaka didn’t contribute much which cost them a lot. They need to rectify their mistakes and come back well as soon.

Colombo Stars were taken to cleaners by Kandy batters Pathum Nissanka and Andre Fletcher to all parts where the duo added 156 runs for the opening wicket. The bowlers went clueless and didn’t able to control the run flow. Angelo Matthews and Keemo Paul are the two batters who looked convincing in the run-chase. The big names such as Charith Asalanka, Ravi Bopara, and Dinesh Chandimal who all had an off day. They need to back their abilities in the coming matches.
