CLS vs JSK Match Preview
For your Dream11 team, it's important to strike a balance between powerful batters who can dominate bowlers and effective bowlers who can take crucial wickets. All-rounders will add significant value by excelling in both areas.
With numerous international and domestic matches under his belt, Rilee Rossouw brings a wealth of experience and a calm presence to Jaffna Kings. He has three centuries and over 6000 runs in T20 cricket.
Asitha Fernando has consistently performed well in Sri Lankan domestic cricket. In doing so, he has earned a spot in the national team and showcased his talents on the international stage. He took two for 25 in four overs against Dambulla Sixers.
Glenn Phillips is not only a phenomenal batter, but is also an excellent fielder. Phillips combines agility and sharp reflexes to be a significant fielder. He made his T20I debut for New Zealand in 2017.
Matheesha Pathirana has been marked as a future star for Sri Lanka after making headlines during the Under-19 World Cup. He has started to deliver on this promise with his career-best T20 figures of four for 24 against Afghanistan earlier this year.
Azmatullah Omarzai is a player for the crunch moments. Whether through quick runs or vital wickets, you will find enjoyment in watching him go about his business. His career-best T20 bowling figures are four for nine.

Colombo Strikers may not make any changes. They will back the players that have won games for them this season to produce more wins and start building a consistent campaign. Jaffna Kings are the one team least likely to make changes after they've found what could be their winning formula. They would want to build on the platform they've set for themselves with their current lineup.
