Kandy Warriors vs Dambulla Giants T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Kandy Warriors will close out their Lanka Premier League campaign against Dambulla Giants at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. It's an evening game and will start at 7:30 PM IST.
Dambulla Giants have endured a mixed outing so far in the tournament. They have won three of their six games and have secured a place for themselves in the playoffs. However, they wouldn't be satisfied with a playoff finish. This last game of the league stage is the final opportunity for them to fix their jigsaw. The biggest concern for them is their batting, which has been pretty ordinary. Phil Salt has been the lone Warrior for them. Others have been very poor. The likes of Shanaka and Najibullah showed promise in the first few games but ran out of gas later.
On the contrary, the bowling has been phenomenal and it's because of the efforts of the bowlers, Dambulla have a few wins to show. Tahir has improved with every passing game, while Joshua Little has also been very impressive in the limited games he played. Tharindu Ratnayake is another bowler who has been impressive.
Speaking about Kandy Warriors, they have lost five of the six games and are out of the tournament. They would like to end the tournament on a high. With nothing to lose, the players can express themselves without any fear.

KW vs DG Match Toss Prediction
Toss has played a big role in the results. Most of the time, the chasing teams have struggled to get over the line due to the slow nature of the surface. Both skippers would not want to take a chance. If they call the coin right, they should bat.
KW vs DG Pitch Report
The surface has been on the slower side and is assisting the spinners. Any score above 160 can be very hard to chase now.
Weather Report
The last few games have been interrupted by rain and it seems that rain will have its say in the coming games as well.

DG Team News
Giants will be keen to play their best squad despite securing a playoff berth. The reason for the same is that a big win in the coming game will push them to second on the points table. If that happens, they will play a Qualifier 1 against Jaffna Kings. Even if they lose, they will get another shot at the final in the Eliminator.
DG Key Players
- Phil Salt - Salt has been sensational in the season. He has scored three fifties and is the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 244 runs to his name.
