Dambulla Viiking vs Colombo Kings, LPL 2020
Dambulla Viikings will take on Colombo Kings in the final league match of the Sri Lanka Premier League. The match will be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 8.00 PM local time.
With the semi finalist already decided, the match does not doesn't stand of great importance but the winner of this match will end the group stage as the No 1 team thus both Colombo Kings and Dambulla Viikings would not take this game very lightly.
Dambulla Viikings never had any big names in their team but their performance has been extraordinary. Their never give up attitude has been their biggest strength. Even in the last game against Galle Gladiators, they were behind at the halfway mark but Sami Ulla Shinwari played a blinder of an inning to take them through. That's been the story for this team. They've not had massive wins but somehow they've managed to get the better of opposition in crunch situations.
For Colombo Kings, the margin of their recent victory over Jaffna Stallions doesn't show how dominating they were in the match. Laurie Evans played a magnificent innings of 108 and helped them to a par score of 173. The bowlers however, were spot on and helped them seal a six run victory. There was a slight scare Thisara Perera and Shoiab Malik was batting but overall it was a pretty convincing win.
All in all, looking at the teams, both are looking very strong and composed but Dambulla look a little more balanced than Colombo Kings and are our favourites for this match.

Pitch Condition
The wicket has been brilliant for batting. It got slower in the second innings so spinners might have a role to play.
