CS vs KFL Pitch Report
The surface at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will be bowling friendly, making it challenging for the batters to score runs.
The spinners will get significant help off the pitch, while the pacers will bowl more cutters and slower ones to succeed.
Fantasy value from the pitch report
- Top-order batters will be the best to capitalise on the conditions, as they will get the hard new ball that travels quicker.
- Considering the track's bowling-friendly nature, prioritise picking more bowling options than batters.
CS vs KFL Fantasy Cricket Tips
Colombo Strikers Heavy Fantasy XI
- Glenn Phillips, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Muhammad Waseem have been Colombo's most successful batters. These three batters will be picked by most of the fantasy players because of their consistency.
- On the bowling front, Shadab Khan and Matheesha Pathirana have been exceptional. Pathirana could be one of the top C/VC choices as he has been lethal with the ball of late.
Kandy Falcons Heavy Fantasy XI
- Dinesh Chandimal and Andre Fletcher have been phenomenal with the bat for Kandy Falcons. You can also keep Angelo Mathews in the team as he slammed a flamboyant 23-ball 44* in the last game.
- Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga is Kandy's joint most successful bowler alongside Dasun Shanaka. Both bowlers have scalped 12 wickets and are expected to play key roles in this match.
CS vs KFL Winner Prediction
Considering Colombo defeated Kandy on both occasions this season, we back the former to emerge triumphant in this match.
CS vs KFL Top Player Picks
Glenn Phillips (CS)
The explosive New Zealand batter has performed admirably in the LPL 2024, scoring the most runs for Colombo Strikers. Phillips hammered 70 runs off 43 balls the last time when these two teams faced each other.
Andre Fletcher (KFL)
Regarded as 'The Spiceman', Andre Fletcher is on a rise, having slammed two fifties in his last three LPL 2024 outings. The West Indies batter can capitalise on the field restrictions and hence can be a huge threat to Colombo's bowling unit.
Matheesha Pathirana (CS)
The promising pacer from Sri Lanka has been the wrecker-in-chief with the ball for Colombo. Pathirana has picked up 12 wickets and will be one of the top picks for this game.
Wanindu Hasaranga (KFL)
Wanindu Hasaranga, who recently stepped down from T20I captaincy, picked four wickets in the last match. Given his reputation and all-round attributes, it will be a huge gamble to drop him from your fantasy team.
CS vs KFL Differential Picks
Binura Fernando (CS)
The left-arm pacer is known for his ability to outfox the batters with his variations. Given the nature of the surface, Fernando might be an excellent differential pick, thanks to his cutters and slow balls.
Mohammad Haris (KFL)
The explosive batter from Pakistan couldn't convert his starts into big scores in the last two games. However, he struck a belligerent 32-ball 56 the last time when Kandy faced Colombo in the tournament.
Muhammad Wasim (CS)
Given opener Angelo Perera's poor form, Muhammad Waseem might enter the middle early during Colombo's innings. So, given his red-hot form, the UAE batter could be a solid differential choice for this match.
CS vs KFL Fantasy Expert Advice
Given the playing conditions and the form of the players, a 2-3-4-2 combination looks ideal for the game.
