Cricket Match Prediction | Lanka T10 Super League 2024 | Jaffna Titans vs Kandy Bolts | Match – 18 | Dec 16 – Can KB defeat the 1st positioned JT?

December 16, 2024

JT vs KB Match Analysis

Jaffna Titans and Kandy Bolts will play each other in the Lanka T10 Super League, 2024 18th game on December 16, 2024, at 09:00 PM BST at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele.

Jaffna Titans remain unbeaten in the Lanka T10 Super League 2024. Having played 5 matches, they have secured 4 victories, with one match ending in a no result.

Kandy Bolts, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win after 5 matches. Unfortunately, 3 of their games have been washed out. Hopefully, they get a fair chance in this match against the table-topping Jaffna Titans.

JT vs KB Team Preview & Squads

Jaffna Titans

Jaffna Titans have been flawless in this tournament so far. With 5 matches played, they remain unbeaten and sit comfortably at the top of the table with 9 points, having won 4 out of 5 games, with one match washed out due to rain.

JT’s season began with a dominant 8-wicket win over Hambantota Bangla Tigers, chasing down 106 with 11 balls and 8 wickets to spare. In their second game against Colombo, they secured another comfortable victory, winning by 40 runs. The match against Kandy Bolts was unfortunately washed out without a toss.

In their fourth match against Galle Marvels, Jaffna Titans bowled first, limiting the opposition to 105/7. Dwaine Pretorius played a key role, taking 2 wickets for 18 runs in 2 overs. Chasing the target, the Titans made a strong start, reaching 50 in just 4 overs, and eventually won by 7 wickets with 9 balls to spare.

Their most recent victory, against Nuwara Eliya Kings, was even more impressive. Batting first, Jaffna Titans posted 153/4 in 10 overs, with Tom Abell leading the charge, scoring 59 off 24 balls, including 8 fours and 3 sixes. In reply, the Titans’ bowlers dominated, restricting Nuwara Eliya Kings to just 100 runs in 10 overs, sealing a 53-run victory. Pramod Madushan was outstanding, taking 3 wickets for just 8 runs in 2 overs. Given their current form, it seems challenging for any team to beat Jaffna Titans in this tournament.

Jaffna Titans Squads

David Wiese, Mohammad Amir, Wanindu Hasaranga, Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Treveen Mathew, Nuwan Thushara, George Garton, Dwaine Pretorius, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Pramod Madushan, Johnson Charles, Dunith Wellalage, and Kevin Wickham.

Kandy Bolts

Kandy Bolts have faced a challenging season so far, with three of their five matches being washed out and the other two resulting in losses. They would have hoped for victories against Nuwara Eliya Kings, currently at the bottom of the table, and Colombo Jaguars, who are yet to register a win this season.

KB’s performance in the first four games includes a 7-wicket defeat to Galle Marvels, followed by three washouts. In the match against Galle Marvels, Kandy Bolts managed only 100 runs and lost by 7 wickets in the 8th over. Imad Wasim was the only bowler to find success, taking 2 wickets for 21 runs in his two-over spell.

In their most recent game against Hambantota Bangla Tigers, Kandy Bolts won the toss and opted to bowl first, but conceded a massive total of 163 runs in 10 overs, while taking 6 wickets. Unfortunately, all their bowlers went for more than 10 runs per over, with Thisara Perera being the best bowler, claiming 2 wickets for 26 runs in his two-over spell.

Chasing such a large target, Kandy Bolts were dismissed for just 116/9 in 10 overs, losing by a hefty margin of 47 runs. Now, they face the undefeated table-toppers, Jaffna Titans, and Kandy Bolts will need to perform exceptionally well if they are to stand a chance of defeating them.

Kandy Bolts Squads

Shahnawaz Dahani, Thisara Perera, Seekkuge Prasanna, Dinesh Chandimal, Amir Hamza, Saim Ayub, Arinesto Vezha, Chamika Gunasekara, George Munsey, Milinda Siriwardana, Chaturanga de Silva, Pathum Nissanka, Chandrapaul Hemraj, and Shehan Jayasuriya.
