Dambulla Giants vs Jaffna Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Dambulla Giants have a mammoth task on their hand as they face Jaffna Kings in match 14 of LPL. The match will be played at R Premadasa Stadium and will start at 7:30 PM IST.
Dambulla Giants might have won three of their five games but they'll be well aware that getting past Jaffna will take a lot more effort. So far, Dambulla's wins have been a result of some great bowling performances but the batting is still an issue. The team has consistently failed to put above par scores in the tournament. In their game against Colombo Stars, they could only post 138-9 before the bowlers once again stepped up to save the game for them. The likes of Phil Salt, Niroshan Dickwella, Dasun Shanaka, Najibullah Zafran have batted well as individuals but they have not performed collectively which is why the team has not been able to post decent totals.
Jaffna Kings, on the other hand, have been on a roll, winning four of their five games. The batters are in red hot form, the bowling has been tight and the team is looking a real force at the moment. Any team that wants to beat Jaffna will have to up their game leaps and bounds and Dambulla have a massive task on their hands.

The winning skipper will most likely bowl first
DG vs JK Pitch Report
The surface has become considerably slow and despite some big scores being posted in last few games, we feel it will not be easy to bat. Anything over 150 can be hard to chase.
Weather Report
There is some rain predicted on match day. However, it should stay away during the game time.

Dambulla Giants Team News & Playing 11
DG Team News
Sohaib Maqsood has struggled in the tournament so far and we feel he has got more than enough chances. It will be interesting to see if the team sticks with him. We feel the team will drop him from next game.
DG Key Players
- Niroshan Dickwella - The southpaw is consistently scoring 30s but hasn't been able to kick-off to get a big one. Dambulla needs big runs for him against a daunting opposition.
- Phil Salt - Salt has endured two failures in the last two games but he has been in terrific form over the last few months. Salt is one player who can swing the match in Dambulla's favour and the team will be expecting fireworks from him.
- Imran Tahir - The veteran is slowly finding his feet after a slow start. His performance is getting better with every passing game. An in-form Tahir can be a massive plus for Giants.
DG Team Form
One game was washed out. Overall, the performance of the team has been decent but their batting is a big concern in LPL 2021.
Dambulla Giants Predicted Playing 11
Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Philip Salt, Sohaib Maqsood/Kalana Perera, Tharindu Ratnayake, Najibullah Zadran, Dasun Shanaka (c), Ramesh Mendis, Chamika Karunaratne, Sachitha Jayathilake, Nuwan Pradeep, Imran Tahir
Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JK Team News
Jaffna Kings brought back Upul Tharanga in the last game in place of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. We feel it's the right move as Gurbaz wasn't contributing much. The team looks well settled now as Tharanga down the order was a waste. He is an opener and can contribute much better at the top.
JK Key Players
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore - The batter has been very impressive this season. Match after match, he has delivered impactful performances. Jaffna will be expecting another big knock from him.
- Thisara Perera - He's been magnificent in the last three games. After two back to back fifties, Perera smashed 29 off 14 balls and Kandy. He is looking unstoppable at the moment and Dambulla will have to find a strategy to stop him from going berserk because if he gets into the groove, it'll be game over for Giants.
- Maheesh Theekshana - The spinner has been difficult to decode for many batters in the tournament so far. He's been economical and has picked up wickets when the team needed them the most. He's overpowered Wanindu Hasaranga at times.
JK Team Form
Jaffna Kings are looking unstoppable after four back to back wins.
Jaffna Kings Predicted Playing 11
Upul Tharanga (wk), Avishka Fernando, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Shoaib Malik, Ashen Bandara, Thisara Perera (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chaturanga de Silva, Suranga Lakmal, Maheesh Theekshana, Wahab Riaz

🏆 Dambulla Giants vs Jaffna Kings Prediction
Jaffna Kings are on a roll and it is a daunting task for any team to get over them. More so, Dambulla Giants’ batting has been very shaky and against a quality bowling lineup of Jaffna, it won’t be easy for them to sustain. Jaffna Kings are favourites for us.
