BLK vs JK: Team Previews
B-Love Kandy
Kandy have been abysmal in their performance so far in the tournament. However, they will be bolstered as Fakhar Zaman and Dushmantha Chameera are expected to play.
Asked to chase in both their previous matches, they fell reasonably short of the targets, with none of their batters making a mark.
On the bowling front, Mohammad Hasnain has done well for them. The Pakistan pacer has bagged three wickets in two games.
Jaffna Kings
The Kings started off their campaign on a high but failed to build on their winning momentum. In their last match, Dambulla Aura restricted them to 129/7 in 20 overs. Their bowling also showed no spark as they let the opposition complete the run-chase in 16.2 overs.
For Jaffna, their batter Towhid Hridoy and bowler Vijayakanth Viyaskanth are better placed in their respective leaderboards.
