DHG vs JSK Team Previews
Dambulla Giants
Dambulla Sixers are composed of a batting lineup with a mixture of youth and experience. Their bowling lineup is promising, but potentially needs more variation to trouble the better batting lineups.
New Zealand international Mark Chapman was the bright spark in an underwhelming performance for Dambulla Thunders against B-Love Kandy. The left-hand batter scored 91 not out.
Danushka Gunathilaka has international experience in limited-overs cricket. He has 746 T20I runs in his 46 T20I matches with three fifties.
Mohammad Nabi brings T20 experience that very few cricketers can claim to have. He has played in over 400 T20 matches in a career which has brought him close to 6000 T20 runs coupled with over 350 T20 wickets.
Dambulla Giants Playing 11
Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Perera, Reeza Hendricks, Nuwanidu Fernando, Mark Chapman, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Dushan Hemantha, Mohammad Nabi, Mustafizur Rahman, Nuwan Thushara, Dilshan Madushanka.
Jaffna Kings
Jaffna Kings will mainly be characterised by their deep and explosive batting lineup. Take nothing away from their seamers who can extract movement with the new ball and spinners who can play a part in the middle overs.
Avishka Fernando is a bruising right-handed batter, though not without aptitude for deft touch. He has been touted to be a superstar from a young age after his first involvement with the national team at only 18 years of age.
Kusal Mendis has proven his case for being one of the most dependable T20 batters in Sri Lanka. He will face up to his previous LPL team which he scored 220 runs in 2023 with.
West Indian Fabian Allen brings the all-round package to Jaffna Kings. The T20 trailblazer will want to create pressure with his left-arm orthodox spin in the middle overs.
Jaffna Kings Playing 11
Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Rilee Rossouw, Avishka Fernando, Charith Asalanka, Azmatullah Omarzai, Fabian Allen, Asitha Fernando, Pramod Madushan, Tabraiz Shamsi, Ahan Wickramasinghe.
DHG vs JSK Toss Prediction
This match will be played at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium as a night game.
In night games, especially in Dambulla where dew can become a significant factor, captains often choose to bowl first after winning the toss. Dew can make it difficult for bowlers to grip the ball and can lead to higher scores in the second innings.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
Expect Dambulla to be hot and humid, with rain unlikely to occur.
The pitch in Dambulla may be a wicket which will challenge the batters unless there is dew present. With a game already played on the surface in the morning, the spinners could be tricky to face as the pitch breaks up.
DHG vs JSK Betting Tips
