JKS vs KFL: Team Previews

Jaffna Kings

Table toppers Jaffna Kings are roaring in the LPL 2024 edition with four wins in six games. In the previous game, Rilee Rossouw's fastest century propelled the Kings to a successful chase of 189 runs with 9 balls to spare.

Rossouw scored 108 runs in just 50 deliveries, and Avishka Fernando played an anchor role with 58 (35) as Jaffna Kings unlocked their fourth win of the tournament.

With the ball, Fabian Allen and Azmatullah bowled clinical spells to restrict the Colombo Strikers to a decent total.

Overall, the Jaffna Kings are off to a thunderous start in the new season. They need to continue the momentum to finish higher in the standings.

Kandy Falcons

On the flip side, Kandy Falcons' struggles have refused to stop. They slipped to the bottom of the table with just 4 points after losing to Galle Marvels in the previous game.

The Falcons failed to click with the ball while defending 187 runs. Alex Hales and Bhaunka Rajapaksa scored a fifty each to take the game away from the Falcons.

Kamindu Mendis and Ramesh Mendis bowled expensive spells as the Falcons lost the game by a massive 8-wicket margin. Needless to say, the Falcons have to buckle up before it's too late. The competition is fierce, with three teams lingering at four points on the table.

The points table is highly volatile, and one more loss can make the Falcons' life miserable in the tournament.
