Colombo Stars vs Dambulla Giants T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Colombo Stars will take on Dambulla Giants in match 11 of Lanka Premier League. The match will be played at R Premadasa Stadium and is set to get underway at 7:30 PM IST.
Despite having a very good team on paper, Colombo Stars have endured poor outings in the Lanka Premier League so far. The team started their campaign with a nervy win over Galle but lost both their following games. Things got worse in their last game against Jaffna Kings as the team was shot out for a mere 114, losing the game by 93 runs. Big players like Tom Banton, Kusal Perera, Sherfane Rutherford need to take charge of the team and help them post decent runs. The bowlers have been good in patches but they need more consistency. Seekkuge Prasanna and Naveen ul Haq have been the best bowlers.
Dambulla Giants, on the other hand, have been decent so far. They have won two games while losing one against Jaffna Kings. Their last game against Galle was washed out due to rain. The likes of Dasun Shanaka and Phil Salt have been the batters who have led the side. But still, runs from Sohaib Maqsood, and other batters are not coming, which is a concern. The bowling also has been expensive. Though bowlers have taken wickets, they have leaked a lot of runs. This is one aspect the team would like to improve in the next game.

Colombo Stars Team News & Playing 11
CS Team News
We have no clue why Pathum Nissanka and Akila Dananjaya were dropped from the last game. Maybe the team is following a rotation policy. Nothing can be said for granted but we feel both players, or at least Akila will be back in the team
CS Key Players
- Tom Banton - The batter has failed to back his Abu Dhabi T10 performance in the Lanka Premier League so far and might well be playing his last game if he doesn't perform well in the coming game. However, given the class player he is, we are optimistic that runs are around the corner for him
- Dhananjaya de Silva - The skipper has played his part in the tournament. He has scored runs as well as took a few wickets, without giving much away.
- Dushmantha Chameera - The pacer has been in great form with the ball and has taken 6 wickets in three games. Expect him to come good in the next game as well.
CS Team Form
Stars have been disappointing in the tournament so far, losing two of the three games.
Colombo Stars Predicted Playing 11
Tom Banton, Kusal Perera (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Dinesh Chandimal, Ashan Priyanjan/Pathum Nissanka, Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Keemo Paul, Seekkuge Prasanna, Thikshila de Silva/Akila Dananjaya, Naveen-ul-Haq, Dushmantha Chameera
Dambulla Giants Team News & Playing 11
DG Team News
Sohaib Maqsood has got enough chances but he has not performed well so far. We feel the team might drop him and bring in Kalana Perera. Also, they may want to include Marchant de Lange in the team
DG Key Players
- Phil Salt - The batter has been magnificent and has scored two half-centuries in four games. Expect him to continue his good run in coming games as well.
- Niroshan Dickwella - The batter is slowly getting into his grooves. While he hasn't played a real big knock, he has got starts in the previous two games. We feel a big inning is just around the corner.
- Najibullah Zadran - The batter has done well this year. After impressive outings in the 20-20 World Cup, he made an immediate impact in LPL, scoring a 50 against Colombo Stars. He would like to replicate his performance
DG Team Form
Dambulla Giants have won two games but their bowling has been expensive so far in LPL 2021
