On Saturday, July 6, the Jaffna Kings and Dambulla Sixers will be competing.
Dambulla Sixers are at the bottom of the Lanka Premier League points standings after suffering two straight losses.
The team captained by Muhammad Nabi will next take on the Jaffna Kings, three-time champions who beat them by four wickets in the previous game.
In the most recent game, Kusal Mendis destroyed it for Dambulla, hitting 102* runs off 52 deliveries. Mark Chapman and Nuwanidu Fernando had good looks, but their strike rates raised serious concerns.
Avishka Fernando and Charith Asalanka spent a wonderful day in Jaffna.
Asalanka scored 50 runs off 36 balls, but Fernando hammered 80 runs off 34 deliveries. Jaffna won the match thanks to their decisive knocks, but it was in the very last throw of the game.
Another close game is anticipated when these two clubs play again on July 6 at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium; however, Dambulla will be hoping to win this time to stay in the hunt.
