R.Premadasa Stadium Colombo Pitch Report
The pitch performs quite decently for both batters and bowlers during the LPL 2024 so far, teams batted second in the last eight games won the match. There is a little help for bowlers, but if batters managed to set their eyes, they can score good runs.
JK vs KFL Form
Jaffna Kings Form
Team Jaffna Kings ended the league stage at second spot and lost the qualifier 1 to Galle despite scoring 177 while batting first.
Their batters are in great touch, including the highest run-scorer in the league, Avishka Fernando, and they will look to chase in order claim a berth to the finals.
Kandy Falcons Form
The Wanindu Hasaranga-led side peaked at the right time in the league, and after grabbing the final qualification berth to the playoffs, they went on to beat the strong Colombo in eliminator.
Dinesh Chandimal and Andre Fletcher remained the backbone of Kandy’s batting line-up, and we can expect some show from them in the qualifier 2 game. While Wanindu Hasaranga with the kind of form he is, is likely to play a key role, especially with the ball.
