It was possible for the franchise to win the competition twice. In the batting division, the side will depend on any semblance of Andre Fletcher, Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, all-rounders Gray Bandara, Fabian Allen, and Carlos Brathwaite to convey the greater part of the runs. Kamindu Mendis, who batted for Kandy Falcons in the previous match, was in excellent form.
He scored 44 runs in 34 balls, including four fours and two sixes. In addition to Mendis, wicket-keeper Andre Fletcher and Pathum Nissanka scored crucial runs of 22 and 20 runs, respectively. The team’s bowlers, including Zahoor Khan, Carlos Brathwaite, Isuru Udana, and Wanindu Hasaranga, will be tasked with making crucial breakthroughs.
The Kandy Falcons’ pick of the bowlers in the previous match was medium-pacer Carlos Brathwaite, who took four overs to finish with figures of 4 for 14. In addition to Brathwaite, Zahoor Khan bowled well and got 2 for 26 in all of his overs. This season, the defending champions have won two matches in a row thanks to their excellent cricket.
The team will rely on Avishka Fernando, Dhananjaya de Silva, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Shoaib MaIik, and Thisara Perera to score the majority of runs in the batting department. Sadeera Samarawickrama and Avishka Fernando, the openers in the previous match, played well and hit half-centuries to help Jaffna Kings cruise to a comprehensive victory.
The team’s bowlers will be V Viyaskanth, Mahesh Theekshana, Zaman Khan, James Fuller, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Mahesh Theekshana for timely breakthroughs. Mahesh Theekshana and V Viyaskanth bowled well in the previous match, taking three wickets each.
