Jaffna Stallions vs Kandy Tuskers, LPL 2020
Jaffna Stallions will take on Kandy Tuskers in the 8th match of the Lanka Premier League. The match will be played at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM local time.
Jaffna Stallions have been brilliant in the two games they've played. A magnificent innings by Thisara Perera helped them prevail over Dambulla Vikings and they'll be eyeing a similar sort of performance against Kandy Tuskers as well.
Other batsmen like Avishka Fernando, Tom Moors, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Shoaib Malik makes them a team with one of the best batting line up in the tournament.
In the bowling department, Usman Shinwari was fabulous in the previous game, picking up three wickets, Dianne Olivier and Wanindu Hasaranga have bowler well too. Jaffna Stallions looks a perfectly balanced team and are the favourites for this match.
They're up against Kandy Tuskers who too have a decent batting line up but fall short a little in the bowling department. Rahman Ullah Gurbaz has been pretty solid along with Kusal Perera. Runs from Brendan Taylor, Kusal Mendis and Kamindu Mendis is also a positive sign. Batting wise, we expect that Kandy is on par with Jaffna Stallions but with Munaf Patel, Dilruwan Perera, Asela Gunaratne, Nuwan Pradeep, and Seekkuge Prasanna as the their bowlers, they lack a genuine wicket taker which might prove to be costly in the match.

Kandy Tuskers too are coming back from a win in their previous game but they lack some quality in their bowling department. Maybe this time they can bring in Dale Steyn in their team.
