Colombo Stars are favorites to win
Colombo Stars will take on Dambulla Giants at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Kandy. Match 14 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 19:30 local time on Wednesday 14th December.
The Stars picked up their second win of the tournament on Tuesday evening with a very narrow win over Galle Gladiators. Requiring eight from the final over and then two from the final five balls, the Stars got over the line from the final ball to win by two wickets.
Dinesh Chandimal and Charith Asalanka looked to be taking Colombo Stars to a comfortable win as they put on 92 runs from 9.4 overs for the third wicket for the third wicket. However, it was left to Benny Howell, Ravi Bopara and Seekkuge Prasanna to make quick runs in the final few overs to get them home.
The Colombo Stars bowling attack will be looking to be slightly more economical in this game after making it tough for their batters by conceding 193 runs on Tuesday evening. Afghan pace bowler Naveen-ul-Haq continued his strong form with another two wickets and he will be looking forward to bowling on this pitch again in this match.
Colombo Stars ended a run of back to back defeats with the last ball win over Galle Gladiators on Tuesday.
It has been a terrible start to the 2022 LPL for Dambulla Aura who are bottom of the table with four defeats from their opening four games. Their most recent loss came on Tuesday afternoon to Kandy Falcons who had no problem in beating them by 77 runs.
One of the main problems for Dambulla Aura is the lack of top order runs in the team. This was best highlighted in the defeat to Kandy Falcons with Chaturanga de Silva (25 runs from 15 balls) and Noor Ahmad (20 runs from eight balls) top scoring from numbers eight and eleven. Aura are still waiting for their first half-century of the tournament.
Across three of their games, Dambulla Aura have picked up only eight wickets although they did take nine wickets the last time they played Colombo Stars in Match 5. Lahiru Kumara took 4-36 in that game and he will be the bowler the Stars are most wary of in this game.
Dambulla Aura are still searching for their first victory of the season.
The match will be played at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Kandy. The pace in the wicket is ideal for big hitting batters and we expect to see plenty of boundaries in this match.

Although Colombo Stars have been far from playing their best cricket in the competition, they have looked far stronger than a poor Dambulla Aura team so far. The Stars have a long batting order and we think that will enable their top order to score at a fast rate in this match. Overall we are backing Colombo Stars to win this game.
