Dambulla Aura vs Jaffna Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2023
Dambulla Aura will take on Jaffna Kings in match 4 of the Lanka Premier League. The game will be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo at 3:00 PM IST.
Dambulla Aura and Jaffna Kings had contrasting results in their opening game of the Lanka Premier League. Dambulla Aura lost to Galle Titans in the Super Over while Jaffna Kings picked up a remarkable win over Colombo Strikers in the tournament opener.
Despite losing the game, there were many positives for Dambulla in their previous match. Their two most senior players Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva scored 40 and 43 runs respectively. Alex Ross also showed he can play the role of a finisher after he scored an unbeaten 39 and helped Dambulla tie the match while chasing a huge target of 181 runs. The Super Over did not go Dambulla's way but the fighting spirit will definitely lift the team.
Meanwhile, the defending champion, Kings stamped their authority over Colombo Strikers and won by 21 runs. Almost all of their batters chipped in with useful contributions while four of the six bowlers at least picked a wicket. The win was as comprehensive as it gets.
