Colombo Stars vs Dambulla Giants T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Colombo Stars and Dambulla Giants will clash in the all-important Eliminator. This is a knockout game and the team that loses will be out of the tournament. The match will be played at R Premadasa Stadium and will start at 3:30 PM IST.
After a slow start, Colombo Stars finally picked up some momentum and won three of their last four games. They had a good team but the players were not performing as per expectations. However, the team got better in the last few games. They defeated Kandy Warriors in the last game to seal a spot in the eliminator. The biggest positive for them from this match is that all their key players scored runs in the game. Kusal Perera got runs and scored a 50, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chadimal also made valuable contributions.
The bowling has been good in all games and the last game was no different. Jeffrey Vandersay was one fire in the match and took 6 wickets, while Seekkuge Prasanna also accounted for two scalps
Meanwhile, things have got bad to worse for Dambulla Giants. They have only won one of their last five games and barely managed to make it to the Eliminator. The batting has been an issue for them and the team will be concerned about it going into the match. They are too reliant on Phil Salt. If he scores, they end up posting a decent score but he fails, the team crumbles. Things are not looking bright for Dambulla Giants.

Colombo Stars Team News & Playing 11
CS Team News
It's a knockout game and the team will not try anything fancy. The team looks sorted out and we expect them to go in with the same playing XI.
CS Key Players
- Kusal Perera - Runs from Perera is the biggest positive for Colombo Stars from the last game. The batter scored 58 off 38 balls and laid the foundation of a decent score. With runs behind him, he would now be keen to ride on the momentum and continue his form.
- Angelo Matthews - The batter has been brilliant ever since he came back to the team after to injury. His inclusion has certainly sorted out a lot of issues in the batting department. The senior batted will be keen to do well in this crunch game.
- Jeff Vandersay - The spinner wreaked havoc in the last game and took six wickets for 25 run. He has been sensational since being drafted into the team and has taken 10 wickets in just three games.

Dambulla Giants Team News & Playing 11
DG Team News
The team dropped Joshua Little from the last game and brought Marchant de Lange. We were quite surprised to see the move as Little has been in good form for them. However, we feel Little will be back into the team in the coming game.
DG Key Players
- Phil Salt - Runs from Phil Salt is a must in this game. Throughout the season, he has carried the team's batting. In any game he has failed to perform, Dambulla has struggled to post big runs.
- Dhananjaya de Silva - The all-rounder has been pretty decent in the tournament. He has bowled well in every game and every time he got an opportunity to contribute with the bat, he has done well there as well.
- Imran Tahir - Tahir got better as the tournament progressed and it seems he is at the peak of his form now. In the last game, he bowled a spell of 2-17. Overall, he has taken 13 wickets in eight games.
DG Team Form
The team has slumped in the second half of the tournament and lost three out of the last four games.

🏆 Colombo Stars vs Dambulla Giants Prediction
Colombo Stars seemed to have peaked at the right moment. With three wins in four games, they have form and momentum behind them. Dambulla, on the other hand, have gone downhill in the last few games. Their batting is looking very concerning and we feel they will struggle against quality Colombo bowling. Back Colombo as winners.
