Dambulla Aura vs Jaffna Kings Team Preview

Dambulla Aura

Despite losing, Dambulla’s previous game had a lot of great aspects. Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva, their two most experienced players, scored 40 and 43 runs, respectively. After scoring an unbeaten 39 and aiding Dambulla in tying the game despite chasing an enormous 181-run target, Alex Ross showed that he can also serve as a finisher. Dambulla did not win the Super Over, but their tenacity will undoubtedly help the team. 

Dambulla Aura played well against the Galle Titans, therefore no changes to the starting lineup are required. However, Noor Ahmed should be eligible for selection at this point, and the team may want to include him in the starting lineup.    

Jaffna Kings

The current champion Kings, meanwhile, imposed their will on Colombo Strikers and triumphed by 21 runs. Nearly every one of their batters made a useful contribution, and four out of their six bowlers at least claimed a wicket. The victory was as complete as it could be.

Due to their commitments to Global T20 Canada, Shoaib Malik, and Chris Lynn remain unavailable for the LPL 2023. David Miller, on the other hand, has finished Major League Cricket and may be available for selection.

Chasing is difficult because the wicket becomes slower as the match proceeds. The team who wins the toss goes to bat first.

The sky will be gloomy, with temperatures ranging from 30 to 26 degrees. Rain is not an issue.

The spinners will benefit from the pitch. It is a difficult surface to bat on since the ball does not come onto the bat and timing is difficult.
