Andre Fletcher scored a blistering 102 in the first match for Kandy Falcons. He scored 20 in the second game. Fletcher is a player who can win a game on his own and the Falcons will need him to keep performing consistently as that will significantly improve their chances of making it big in the tournament.
Avishka Fernando came good in the last game and scored a brilliant 51. He is rated very highly in Sri Lanka cricket and this is an opportunity for him to cement his place in the team.
Carlos Brathwaite is a wonderful player to have owing to his all round skills. He picked up 4 wickets in the last game. If he does not perform well with the ball, he may come good as a batter thus he adds a lot of value to the team.
Wanindu Hasaranga is a match-winner for any team he plays for. Hasaranga picked 4 wickets in the first match and 1 wicket in the previous outing. The skipper will be eyeing another decent show.
Maheesh Theekshana is Sri Lanka’s best spinner along with Wanindu Hasaranga. He picked up 3 wickets in the last game and is in good form. Theekshana, on these surfaces, will be key for Jaffna Kings.
