JK vs KFL Fantasy Cricket Tips

Jaffna Kings heavy fantasy XI

• Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka and Rille Rossouw are in good form and will be good picks for the fantasy contests from the Jaffna batting. 
• Azmatullah Omarzai and Asitah Fernando are the highest wicket takers for the Kings. However, Tabraiz Shamsi has been the more efficient bowler. So, along with Shamsi, you can pick either of Omarzai and Fernando. 

Kandy Falcons heavy fantasy XI

• Andre Fletcher has been the most consistent of the batters for the Falcons. Besides, Fletcher, Dinesh Chandimal has had bursts with the bat in the tournament. As these two batters bat in the top-order, they will be good picks for the game. 
• Wanindu Hasaranga has made effective all-round contributions in the tournament. In his current form, Hasaranga can make game-changing contributions in both innings of the game and that makes him one of the safest choices for the fantasy contests. 
• Dasun Shanaka has been doing a good job with the ball in the tournament. Shanaka can also be effective with the bat in the middle-order and that makes him a good option for the fantasy contests of the match. 

JK vs KFL Winner Prediction

The Jaffna Kings have been playing a great brand of cricket in the tournament and have the moment with them. But the Kandy Falcons are peaking at the right time and will give a tough competition in this game. However, the team chasing the target will have an advantage in the match.

JK vs KFL Top Player Picks

Avishka Fernando has been in consistent form with the bat in the tournament [X]

Avishka Fernando (JK)

The middle-order batter has been in a consistent form in the tournament.  Avishka Fernando has delivered with the bat in most of the game an will be one of the hot-picks for the game. 

Rilee Rossouw (JK)

The South African top-order batter has looked good with the bat, especially in the Colombo leg of the tournament.  Rilee Rossouw has found batting easier on this track and hence could be a rewarding pick for the game. 

Andre Fletcher (KFL)

The West Indian opener from the Kandy Falcons have been the most consistent batter for the team in the tournament. Andre Fletcher's current striking form makes him a potentially rewarding pick for the match. 

Wanindu Hasaranga will be important for the fantasy contests of the game [X]

Wanindu Hasaranga (KFL)

The Sri Lankan opener and the former T20I skipper has been in a good all-round rhythm with both the bat and the ball. Wanindu Hasaranga has shown the potential to be a match-winner in either innings of the game and will be a player worth betting on in the game. 

JK vs KFL Differential Picks

Pathum Nissanka (JK)

The Sri Lankan opener has been scored a century in the tournament and has played a couple of good knocks apart from that.  However, he has been inconsistent with his run-scoring and that makes Pathum Nissanka a potentially rewarding yet risky choice for the game. 

Dinesh Chandimal (KFL)

The Kandy opener started off the tournament on a good note. However, after the initial few games, Dinesh Chandimal has failed to hold on to consistency. But he seems to be a in a good touch and hence will be a good pick for the game. 

JK vs KFL Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the playing conditions and the form of the players, a 1-3-5-2 or a 1-3-6-1 combination will be ideal for the game.
