JK vs CS T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2022

Jaffna Kings will take on Colombo Stars at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Match 19 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 15:00 local time on Monday 19th December.

Jaffna Kings

With 10 points from seven games in the tournament, Jaffna Kings are guaranteed to finish in second place in the group stage. They will play Kandy Falcons in the semi-final on Wednesday and this game will give Kings’ players the opportunity to ensure they are in the best possible form.

JK Batting

The Kings beat Galle Gladiators by 16 runs in their last game on Sunday after posting a healthy total of 170-8 with the bat. Afif Hossain top scored with 54 runs from 35 balls but it is the Jaffna Kings openers, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Avishka Fernando, who are most likely to make big contributions in this match.

JK Bowling

The Jaffna Kings bowling attack restricted Galle Gladiators to 154-9 with left-arm quick bowler Binura Fernando taking 3-20 from his four overs. With 10 wickets from his three games in the tournament, Fernando has an exceptional strike-rate of 6.6 and will be very hard to keep out in this game.

JK Form

Jaffna Kings come into this game after three wins from their last four fixtures.

Colombo Stars

The Stars are guaranteed a place in the semi-finals although they could still drop to fourth place. They have six points from seven games and will be eager to give a good account of themselves in this match after losing by nine wickets to Kandy Falcons on Saturday.

CS Batting

The experienced duo of Dinesh Chandimal (20 runs from 17 balls) and skipper Angelo Mathews (41 runs from 38 balls) were the only batters to come out of the game against the Falcons with any credit. The Stars were bowled out for 106 and we could well see Mathews move up the order from number six in this game.

CS Bowling

Suranga Lakmal was the only Colombo Stars wicket taker in Saturday’s defeat and the team has struggled to find a leader of their bowling attack in this tournament. Benny Howell should be able to get pace and movement from this surface but he has gone wicketless in the last two matches.

CS Form

Colombo Stars have lost three of their last five matches in the competition.

JK vs CS Pitch Report

The match will be played at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. On a good batting wicket, we expect a par score to be over 165. With batters encouraged to go for their shots, there will be wickets for spin and pace bowlers.
