Kandy Falcons are favorites to win
Kandy Falcons will take on Dambulla Aura at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Match 18 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 19:30 local time on Sunday 18th December.
With six wins from seven games so far in the tournament, Kandy Falcons are in a very strong position at the top of the table and with a four point lead over Jaffna Kings in second place. They played Dambulla Aura in Match 11 and won by 77 runs.
After the bowlers had done a fine job in restricting Colombo Stars to 106 all out, the Kandy Falcons batters made light work of the chase. Opener Andre Fletcher continued his impressive run in the tournament and took his tally of runs to 264 with 44 not out from 41 balls. Kamindu Mendis will relish batting on this pitch again after ending unbeaten on 51.
Although he was the most economical of the five bowlers used on Saturday, captain Wanindu Hasaranga was the only bowler for the Falcons to not pick up a wicket. Chamika Karunaratne could do no wrong and took 4-11 from 3.1 overs.
Kandy Falcons are targeting their fourth successive victory in the tournament in this match.
With only two points from six matches in the 2022 LPL, Dambulla Aura could well be fearful of facing the top of the table team in this game. However, they won their last match, a convincing 48 run victory over Galle Gladiators, and they should bring some self-belief into this contest.
Openers, 18 year old Shevon Daniel and 22 year old Jordan Cox, produced a fine batting display in the win over Galle Gladiators on Saturday. Both will be keen to get going again on this pitch after they shared an opening partnership of 163 inside 18 overs.
After posting 178 with the bat, the Dambulla Aura bowlers stepped up and delivered a strong bowling performance to secure their first win of the campaign. Pramod Madushan took 3-17 with Zimbabwean Sikandar Raza impressing with 2-5 from three overs.
Dambulla Aura ended a run of five straight defeats with the win on Saturday.
The match will be played at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. There is assistance from the pitch for pace and spin bowlers but the ball comes onto the bat at a nice speed to encourage the stroke-making batters.

Although Dambulla Aura produced an excellent performance with bat and ball against fellow strugglers Galle Gladiators on Saturday, Kandy Falcons are playing at a much higher level and will pose a far tougher challenge. The Falcons were far too good for Aura in their last meeting and we expect the Falcons to again dominate this match. We are predicting a comfortable win for the Falcons in Colombo.
