JT vs CJ Team Preview & Squads

Jaffna Titans

Jaffna Titans player Tom Kohler-Cadmore has made a name for himself in white-ball cricket over the years, so it was no surprise to see him shine in the tournament with an unbeaten half-century on Wednesday. Tom Abell also had a notable performance, scoring 33 not out off 19 balls, showing that he has the potential to excel in this format.

On the bowling front, David Wiese is expected to take the lead, utilizing any available pace and bounce. However, the standout bowler for JT on Wednesday was Treveen Mathew, who achieved remarkable figures of 4 wickets for just 10 runs in 2 overs. He will undoubtedly pose a significant threat again, likely supported by Pramod Madushan.

Colombo Jaguars

For Colombo Jaguars Angelo Mathews won the toss in Match 2, but it only resulted in 6 overs of play and no result. Consequently, the batting lineup for Colombo Jaguars is eager to finally showcase their skills when the game kicks off under the lights on Thursday evening.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pallekele

In keeping with the strategy used in T10 tournaments throughout the world, the captain who won the toss decided to field first in each of the three games on Wednesday. In this game, we think both teams will want to bowl first.

Once more, a hot, muggy, and sticky day in Kandy is anticipated to pose a serious risk of rain and thunderstorms. However, it is predicted that any rain will have long since stopped by the time this game starts at 20:30 local time.

We anticipate that both teams will be aiming for a total of 110+ if they bat first because of the boundaries that have been added and the pitch that looks like a batter’s paradise.
