KFL vs JK Fantasy Cricket Tips
Kandy Falcons Heavy Fantasy XI
- Dinesh Chandimal had a good start to the tournament, however he has not fired in the last two matches and hence could be a rewarding choice for the game.
- Andre Fletcher has been in good touch in the last couple of games and will be one of the safer picks for the match.
- Mohammad Haris who has so far played one decent knock could be a differential choice from the Falcons batting.
- Dasun Shanka, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera has been amongst the wickets and will be crucial choices for the match.
Jaffna Kings Heavy Fantasy XI
- Avishka Fernando has been the man in form for the Jaffna Kings, while Pathum Nissanka has chipped in with a couple of good knocks. These two batters will be the safest picks from the Jaffna batting.
- Rilee Rossouw has looked good with the bat in the tournament. However, he has played only one good knock and will be looking to fire big in this game. The South African batter could be a differential choice from the Jaffna batting.
- Tabraiz Shamsi looked good with the ball in his first match of the tournament. He could prove to be an effective wicket-taker and, hence, a highly rewarding pick for the game.

- The former Sri Lankan skipper has been in decent all-round form in the tournament. Dasun Shanaka's majority of the contribution has come with the ball, where he has picked up regular wickets. But he has also played a good knock under pressure and will be a rewarding choice for the game.
