Match Preview

Jaffna Kings faced 54 runs defeat at the hands of Galle Gladiators in the tournament opener. Opting to bowl, Kings got a good target of 165 to chase as the key bowlers – Thisara Perera, Wahab Riaz, and Suranga Lakmal were taken for cleaners. Coming to chase, the defending champions never looked comfortable as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals before eventually getting bowled out for 110 runs in the 19^th over. The Kings will be eying to bounce back and open their account when they face off Dambulla Giants tomorrow.

Dambulla Giants, on the other hand, faced Kandy Warriors in their opening fixture. Opting to bat, Giants posted a massive total of 190 runs on the back of Philip Salt’s explosive knock of 64 off just 27 deliveries. With the ball, Ramesh Mendis was the star for Dambulla as he returned with an impressive figure of 3-21 in his four overs spell.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

It’s an excellent sporting surface where batters will definitely enjoy their outing in the middle and of course bowlers will be at the receiving end. It’s quite difficult to set the target in the shortest format of the game and hence bowling first is a good option.

The temperature is expected to hover around 27°C on the matchday with 62 % humidity and 14 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of precipitation during the game.
