Jaffna Kings are favorites to win
Dambulla Giants will take on Jaffna Kings at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium. Match 3 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 15:00 local time on Wednesday 7th December.
The 2021 campaign was nothing special from Dambulla Giants who finished fourth in the group stage and went on to finish in third place overall. However, they were quite far behind the top two sides and they will be hoping that their new-look team this year can have a more successful campaign.
Dambulla Giants will be looking to their captain Dasun Shanaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa to produce the majority of runs for the side. Alongside those Sri Lankan batting stars, the likes of Englishman Jordan Cox and Pakistan’s Haider Ali will also be expected to deliver in this match.
With the ball, the Netherlands’ Paul van Meekeren impressed during the 2022 T20 World Cup and it will be interesting to see how he bowls on a wicket likely to be more appropriate for spinners. Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza has had an excellent 2022 and his bowling should be successful on this pitch.
Dambulla Giants won only one of their last five games in the 2021 tournament.
It was a winning start for Jaffna Kings on Tuesday in the opening game of the 2022 LPL. They posted 137 from 19.5 overs against Galle Gladiators before restricting them to 113 all out. The Kings will be looking to make it two wins from two games in this match.
There were useful contributions from Dhananjaya de Silva (29 runs from 19 balls), Shoaib Malik (30 runs from 27 balls) and Dunith Wellalage (30 runs from 20 balls) in Tuesday’s victory. Keeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz struggled with one run from nine balls but we expect him to come good at some point in the tournament.
It was a fine team bowling performance from Jaffna Kings in Match 1. Only Thisara Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva went wicketless with the other five bowlers used picking up wickets. Left-arm quick Binura Fernando picked up three wickets including two in the final over of the win.
Jaffna Kings are looking for their fourth successive victory in the LPL in this match.
The match will be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium. It is a spin-friendly surface where we expect a par score to be in the region of 120-125.

Jaffna Kings will have taken plenty of confidence from their opening game victory over Galle Gladiators as some of their top players did not have great games. For Dambulla Giants, they will be keen to get off to a winning start but we are not sure if their bowling attack will be strong enough. Our prediction is a win for Jaffna Kings.
