Colombo Stars vs Dambulla Giants T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Colombo Stars started their campaign with a win but can they continue the momentum against Dambulla Giants ? Read our preview for the 6th match of Lanka Premier League as teams battle to move up the table. The match will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium and is set to get underway at 3:00 PM IST
Colombo Stars started their campaign with a win over of Galle Gladiators. The bowling was outstanding as the team restricted a strong batting lineup of Galle to 117-6. Spinners Dhananjaya de Silva, Akila Dananjaya, Seekuge Prasanna were brilliant with the ball. Naveen ul Haq and Dushmantha Chameera also had a great outing. However, the team faltered chasing a low score and it was only because of the late blitz by David Weise and Dinesh Chandimal that the team was able to cross the line.
Stars have one of the best batting in the tournament, with Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Tom Banton, Sherfane Rutherford at their disposal. We are expecting a better batting performance from them in the next game.
Speaking about Dambulla Giants, they have a great squad as well. They defeated Kandy Warriors in the first game but lost to Jaffna Kings in their last game. Niroshan Dickwella, Phil Salt, Sohaib Maqsood, Dasun Shanaka, Najibullah Zadran are some top batters in the team. When on song, the batting will tear down the opposition. Nuwan Pradeep, Ramesh Mendis, Imran Tahir complete a very good all-around team.

Both skippers will be keen to bat first as the wicket will get slower as the game progresses.
CS vs DG Pitch Report
The surface has shown signs of inconsistency. At times it has kept low. The slowness of the wicket hasn't allowed strokeplay, barring a few exceptions. The batters need to get used to the pace before going berserk
Weather Report
The weather looks decent with pleasant temperature around mid 20s. The rain is likely to stay away from the game.

CS Team News
Colombo Stars started their campaign with a win over Galle Gladiators. We don’t think they will be mulling over their team combination. They have a balanced team and should not tinker with winning combination.
CS Key Players
- Tom Banton - Banton had a decent run in the recently concluded Abu Dhabi T10 League. He missed out in the first game and will be keen to play well in the next game. If he can stay at the wicket for long enough, Stars will end up with a big score.
- David Weise - The all-rounder has had a phenomenal run in the last few years. First, he single handedly took Namibia to the second round of the World Cup. Later, he performed well in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. He also had a good first game of the Lanka Premier League and scored crucial 22 runs while picking up a wicket as well.
- Dhananjaya de Silva - Silva starred with bat and ball in the last game. He scored 22 runs and picked two wickets. He is an asset to any team he plays for.

Colombo Stars look a very strong team. They seem to have all their bases covered at the moment. The batting looks solid, the bowling is immaculately balanced and it will take some efforts from Dambulla to get past them. For us, Colombo are big favourites
