Jaffna Kings vs Kandy Warriors T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Jaffna Kings will take on Kandy Warriors in match 12 of the Lanka Premier League. The match will be played at R Premadasa Stadium and will start at 3:00 PM IST
Jaffna Kings has been fantastic in the tournament. Barring a minor blip against Galle Gladiators, they have won all their games. In the last game, they decimated Colombo Kings by 93 runs. The batting is looking ferocious. Each and every batter looks in ominous form, with skipper Thisara Perera leading from the front. Shoaib Malik, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Avishka Fernando have been brilliant too. These are signs of a team that will be very hard to stop. Their bowling is also one of best, with Wahab Riaz, Suranga Lakmal, Wanindu Hasaranga at disposal.
Speaking about Kandy Warriors, they are on the other end of the spectrum, having lost three of their four games. However, they did pick up a win against Galle in their last game. The bowlers have been fairly good in all games and it's the batters who have let them down. Even in the last game, the top order batters failed to get going. Kandy Warriors need their batters to step up else their campaign will sink further against a dominant Jaffna Kings.

Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JK Team News
Jaffna dropped Jayden Seales in the last game and brought in Wahab Riaz. With all players performing, we don't see any more changes in the team unless there is an injury concern.
JK Key Players
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore - After a rare failure against Kandy Warriors, Cadmore returned to his usual elements and scored a brisk 40. The batter is looking in red hot form and would like to carry from where he left.
- Thisara Perera - The skipper has led the team from the front. He has scored two blazing 50s in the last two games. When on song, Perera can be brutal. He'll be eyeing a hat-trick of half-centuries.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - The spinner is still a mystery for many batters and will hold the key for Jaffna in the bowling department.
JK Team Form
Jaffna has been remarkable in the tournament and have won three back to back games.
Jaffna Kings Predicted Playing 11
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Avishka Fernando, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Ashen Bandara, Shoaib Malik, Thisara Perera (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chaturanga de Silva, Wahab Riaz, Suranga Lakmal, Maheesh Theekshana
Kandy Falcons Team News & Playing 11
KW Team News
We don't see Kandy Warriors making too many changes to the winning combination. Maybe Kasun Ranjitha or Lahiru Kumara can come in place of Al Amin.
KW Key Players
- Charith Asalanka - The top-order batter needs to come good and lay a solid platform for the batters to follow. Asalanka has been in good form of late but back to back failures have dented his confidence. A good knock from him will help Kandy aim for a big score.
- Ravi Bopara - The batter made his presence felt in the last game and scored a match-winning 34. He has tons of experience in this format and adds a lot of value to the team. He can contribute with the ball as well.
- Shiraz Ahmed - The left arm pacer has looked the best bowler from Kandy Warriors in LPL 2021. He will be keen to continue his form and set up a win for his team.
KW Team Form
After three back to back losses, Warriors finally registered a win.
Kandy Falcons Predicted Playing 11
Charith Asalanka, TM Sampath, Angelo Perera (c), Kamindu Mendis, Tom Moores (wk), Ravi Bopara, Minod Bhanuka, Nimesh Vimukthi, Sachindu Colombage, Al-Amin Hossain, Shiraz Ahmed
