Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2023
Jaffna Kings will lock horns with B-Love Kandy in match 15 of the Lanka Premier League. The game will be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and will start at 3:00 PM IST on August 4.
Jaffna Kings have played six matches, winning three and losing three. The team has been inconsistent, mainly because of the lacklustre returns of the batters. Expectations were high from the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Charith Asalanka and David Miller but the batters have not been in great touch which has hurt the team.
Runs from the top order is a must for Jaffna to have a realistic chance of winning the tournament. While the batters have been ordinary, the bowlers, especially the spin trio of Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage and Shoaib Malik has done well.
B-Love Kandy, on the other hand, picked up well after an ordinary start. They lost the first two games but bounced back to win the next three. The batting has been on fire, with Fakhar Zaman, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dinesh Chandimal, and Angelo Matthews, all doing well. With the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera look in great form.

Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JK Team News
Jaffna Kings did well in the last game and defeated Colombo Strikers by six wickets. The team seems to have found a good combination, so they are expected to play the same playing 11.
JK Key Players
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz - Gurbaz has just scored one fifty in the tournament which is way beyond expectations. However, he scored 39 off 21 in the last game and gave a glimpse of the carnage he can do on his day. Gurbaz is an X-factor in the team, and he needs to find form and consistency.
- Dunith Wellalage _ Dunith Wellalage has been brilliant with the ball. Not only he has picked wickets, but he has also contained the run flow. He is the second-highest wicket-taker of the LPL 2023 with 8 wickets in six games
- Shoaib Malik – Malik brings a lot to the table. He is a solid batter and a more than handy bowler. He has already scored fifty in the two games he has played and has also taken three wickets.
JK Team Form
Jaffna Kings have been inconsistent, winning three and losing three games.

B-Love Kandy Team News & Playing 11
BLK Team News
Kandy is in the middle of a juggernaut and picked wins in the last three games. We don’t see the team making a lot of changes to the playing 11.
BLK Key Players
- Dinesh Chandimal – The veteran batter has slowly begun to find form. Chandimal has been consistently getting 20s and 30s for the team and we feel that a big innings from him is not far away.
- Wanindu Hasaranga – Wanindu Hasaranga has been on fire in the last few games. He has fifties in the last two games, which also include a game against the same opposition, Jaffna Kings. He has also taken seven wickets in the last two games. He has single-handedly led Kandy to wins.
- Mujeeb ur Rahman – Given that the match will be played on the sluggish wicket of Premadasa, Mujeeb becomes an automatic key player as spinners will prove game changers on the turning tracks.
BLK Team Form
Kandy lost their first two games but bounced back to win their next three games.

Fakhar Zaman, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Mohammad Haris, Angelo Mathews, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Sahan Arachchige, Asif Ali, Isuru Udana, Nuwan Pradeep, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dushmantha Chameera
