Another day, more exciting games lined up for day six of the Lanka Premier League with action expected to get spicier at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.

Match 9: Kandy Falcons vs Galle Gladiators

The only undefeated side in the tournament Kandy Falcons will see the third placed Galle Gladiators in the first game of the day. While the Gladiators have tasted defeats in two games from three played, the Falcons have won three out of three. None of the side here are going down without a fight.

Key Players

  • Wanindu Hasaranga has turned out to be a consistent performer for his side scaping 7 wickets while bowling at an economy rate of 6.73.
  • Nuwan Pradeep's six wickets have come from three matches delivering crucial overs for his side. 

Prediction

The Kandy Falcons are having a good run in the tournament which clears that they are the top favourites for this competition. Also, in the previous fixture between these two sides, Falcons got the better of Gladiators.

Match 10: Colombo Stars vs Jaffna Kings

It is going to be absolutely enthralling to watch when Colombo Stars clash against Jaffna Kings in the tenth match. The stars are here after a loss against Galle Gladiators, while their rivals defeated Dambulla Giants by a huge margin of 51 runs in their previous game. On the points table, Jaffna have won three from four, whereas Stars have lost two out of three, giving them second and fourth position, respectively.

Key Players

  • Binura Fernando has been absolutely terrific in the two games he has played this season with seven wickets in his bag.
  • The wicket-keeper batter Niroshan Dickwella has scored big in the last couple of matches with two outstanding half-centuries.

Prediction

The kind of form they are in, Jaffna Kings would be fancy playing against this Colombo Stars side as they would like to continue their winning spree. Their batting looks solid and hence, should take them over the line.
