 Series:: Lanka Premier League 2024  
 Venue:   Pallekele Cricket Stadium - Kandy, Sri Lanka 

 Info: 

• Wanindu Hasaranga is an expert T20 bowler and he is our tip for Kandy Falcons’s top wicket taker in this game.
• With over 4650 runs across his T20 career, we recommend backing Dinesh Chandimal to be Kandy Falcons’s highest run scorer against Dambulla Sixers.
• Kusal Perera has hit 27 T20 half-centuries and the keeper-batter is our pick for Dambulla Sixers’ highest run scorer in this match

 Weather & Pitch Report: 

 Weather: ⛅

The Pallekele Stadium pitch is known for its batting-friendly nature, favouring the batters who often dominate the game. The surface doesn’t offer much assistance to pacers, making it easier for batsmen to find their rhythm and score big runs once they settle in. As the matches move forward, the pitch at Pallekele International Stadium gradually dries up and becomes more favourable for spinners. Considering the impressive spin options available to both teams, it wouldn’t be surprising to witness game-changing performances from the talented spin department.

 Pitch: 🏟️

We can expect a dry and dusty surface in Pallekele although there will be good pace in the wicket. There will be turn for the spinners and we expect a par score of 165+.

 Team NEWS: 

 KFL Team News: 

After winning the tournament in 2023, Kandy Falcons begin their defence of the title with a re-run of last year’s final. Once again, all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga will captain the side and he can call upon the experience of 37 year old Angelo Mathews throughout the tournament.

 DS Team News: 

Mohammad Nabi is scheduled to be Dambulla Sixers’ captain in this tournament but he may not be available for this opening match due to Afghanistan’s late exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup. The entire team will be looking for revenge after losing to B-Love Kandy in last year’s tournament.

 Key Players: 

 Kandy Falcons  

 KFL Team Batting 

Although he is more famous for his bowling than his batting, skipper Hasaranga was the highest run scorer in the 2023 Sri Lanka Premier League and we can expect him to bat aggressively again. Dinesh Chandimal also brings a strong 2023 tournament into this campaign.

 KFL Team Bowling 

Alongside spinner Hasaranga, Angelo Mathews and Dasun Shanaka are likely to be threatening bowlers for Kandy Falcon in this game. Slow left-arm spinner Chaturanga de Silva took two wickets in last year’s final and will get turn in his match.

~

 Dambulla Sixers 

 DS Team Batting 

There is plenty of batting talent in the Dambulla Sixers squad and we expect keeper-batter Kusal Perera and Danushka Gunthilaka to open the batting. New Zealand’s Mark Chapman has an excellent T20 record and is expected to bat at number three.

 DS Team Bowling 

Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad was Dambulla Sixers’ top wicket taker in last season’s tournament but is not in their squad this time around. We expect the combination of Dilshan Madushanka, Mustafizur Rahman and Praveen Jayawickrama to be the top bowlers in this game.

 Team Forms: 

 KFL Team Form: 

Kandy Falcons won three matches in a row on their way to winning the tournament last year.
