Jaffna Kings are favorites to win
Kandy Falcons will take on Jaffna Kings at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Kandy. Match 6 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 19:30 local time on Saturday 10th December.
With two wins from two games in the tournament so far, it is Kandy Falcons who have set the pace and are top of the group stage. They beat Colombo Stars from 109 runs in their first match before defeating Galle Gladiators by five wickets on Wednesday.
Andre Fletcher delivered the first century of the tournament in the win over Colombo Stars. He hit 102 not out from 67 balls to get himself off to an excellent start. The runs were shared out against Galle Gladiators but it worked again with Kandy getting home with five overs remaining.
The experienced Carlos Brathwaite was the top bowler for Kandy Falcons in their second game. He had produced some strong batting and bowling performances in the Abu Dhabi T10 but impressed in Hambantota with 4-14. Left-arm quick Isuru Udana also caught the eye with 1-19 from four overs.
Kandy Falcons have won three of their last four LPL games covering 2021 and 2022.
It’s a record of played two and won two for Jaffna Kings also ahead of this match after two convincing victories in the first week of the competition. The Kings beat Galle Gladiators by 24 runs in the opening game of this tournament before having no problems in defeating Dambulla Aura by nine wickets on Wednesday.
The Jaffna Kings batters come into this match with plenty of confidence after they only required three batters in the win over Dambulla Aura. Both openers scored half-centuries in Hambantota but with a slightly quicker wicket in Kandy, they could well find it easier to bat in this match.
Spinner Maheesh Theekshana took 3-20 from his four overs in the last match and he continues to impress whether playing international cricket for Sri Lanka or franchise cricket around the world. Young leg-spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth recorded his best T20 figures against Dambulla and looks like a player to watch in this match.
Jaffna Kings are targeting their fifth successive LPL victory in this match.
The match will be played at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium, Kandy. We expect another turning pitch but also one with a bit of pace and bounce for the quick bowlers.
