Jaffna Kings vs Dambulla Giants T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Jaffna Kings will be keen to get on board when they cross swords against Dambulla Giants in match 4 of the Sri Lanka Premier League. The game will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and will start at 3:00 PM IST
Both teams had contrasting results in their tournament openers. While Kings suffered a crushing loss to Galle Gladiators, Dambulla defeated Kandy Warriors comprehensively.
Kings have some brutal power in their batting and despite the stalwarts not firing in the first game, we are backing them to come good in the next game. The likes of Upul Tharanga brings a lot of experience, while players like Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Rahmanullah Gurbaz are coming from a decent Abu Dhabi T10 League. The bowling has some genuine match-winners, including Wanindu Hasaranga, Wahab Riaz, Suranga Lakmal and Jayden Seales.
Speaking about Dambulla Giants, they too are not short of quality. They showed their batting prowess and scored 190 in the last game, with Phil Salt carrying his Abu Dhabi form. Niroshan Dickwella and Dasun Shanaka also made decent contributions. Nuwan Pradeep and Ramesh Mendis had decent outings with the ball and picked three wickets each. Overall, they look pretty balanced and will be a tough nut to crack.

Dambulla Giants too won’t be keen on tinkering with the winning combination. At least for the first few games, we don’t see them making too many changes.
DG Key Players
- Phil Salt - Phil Salt had a fantastic run in the Abu Dhabi T10 League and carried his form in the first game. He won player of the match after scoring a match-winning 64 off 27 balls. He’s a player when on song can decimate the opposition.
- Dasun Shanaka - The skipper has to come good in this big game. He looked good with the bat in the last outing but couldn’t play a big inning. However, he has some form behind him and the team will be looking up to him to lead from the front. His 4 overs will also be very crucial.
