THE LOWDOWN
DAMBULLA AURA
Dambulla Aura go marching on and return to R. Premadasa Stadium in excellent shape, following three successive victories. Their most recent triumph came less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time of this encounter. After keeping Galle Titans down to 133/9, a majestic 70 not out from 49 balls by Avishka Fernando steered Dambulla home by seven wickets in 17.4 overs. With no recovery time though, they cannot rest on their laurels with another tough task ahead.
COLOMBO STRIKERS
Colombo Strikers will be rueing the fact that no batter could go on and convert their start into a big score last time out against Jaffna Kings. All of the top three got themselves in but proceeded to get out just as they threatened to accelerate. Ultimately this came back to haunt them as the Strikers could only total 146/8, which was savaged by Jaffna. Colombo’s bowling was flayed to all parts and the game was over midway through the 15th over, meaning it’s now two wins and three losses in five fixtures for the Strikers.
THE PREDICTION
Colombo Strikers have been afforded significantly more of a rest period compared to Dambulla Aura, who were in action just yesterday. But when in such good form, it doesn’t feel so much of an issue, especially with Dambulla playing like a well-oiled machine. But back at home, Colombo are expected to come out of the traps flying and with a point to prove. The last time these two sides played it was a tight contest, Dambulla edging it by ten runs and Colombo won’t have forgotten that. It would be no surprise if at least one of their batters this time goes on and accrues a big score, making up for the Jaffna game and subsequently lays down a platform for a much-needed two points vs Dambulla.
BETTING TIP: COLOMBO STRIKERS TO WIN
