Kandy Warriors vs Jaffna Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Match 7 of the Lanka Premier League will be played between Kandy Warriors and Jaffna Kings. R Premadasa Stadium will host the game and the match will get underway at 7:30 PM IST
Kandy Warriors haven't had a great start to the season. They have lost both their games and are tottering at the bottom of the points table. The team played good cricket in patches but have failed to capitalise on crunch moments. Players like Rovman Powell, Ahmed Shehzad have played well but the lack of runs from Kennar Lewis and Charith Asalanka have hurt the team. The bowling also looks on the weaker side with no genuine wicket-taker.
Speaking about Jaffa Kings, they look a real force. They suffered a shock loss in the first game but soon bounced back to decimate Dambulla Giants. On paper, there is hardly any team that can compete with the Kings. The batting is laced with quality from top to bottom. The likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Avishka Fernando, Shoaib Malik, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Upul Tharanga, Thisara Perera are capable enough to win games on their own.
If the batting is daunting, the bowling too is not short on quality with Wanindu Hasaranga, Jayden Seales, Maheesh Theekshana, Suranga Lakman available. There is not a single weakness in the team and if the players can play to their potential, the team will be unstoppable.

Kandy Falcons Team News & Playing 11
KW Team News
Warriors are struggling at the moment and there is a need to try something different. Mohammad Irfan could replace AL Amin in the next game.
KW Key Players
- Kennar Lewis - Kennar Lewis has not scored in two games but when it comes to shorter formats, the West Indians are always in the game. Lewis will know that another failure might get him out of the playing XI thus we are expecting a solid show from him.
- Ahmed Shehzad - The batter made a sizzling start to the campaign and scored a brilliant 56. The Pakistan batter brings in plenty of experience in this format of the game. Once set, he is someone who will play a long inning and won't throw away his wicket.
- Rovman Powell - Another West Indies who is unstoppable when on song. He almost won the Warriors a match against Dambulla. He has been in good form lately and will be keen to ride on the momentum and make most of the opportunity.
KW Team Form
Warriors have lost both their games in the tournament so far
Kandy Falcons Predicted Playing 11
Kennar Lewis (wk), Ahmed Shehzad, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Perera (c), Kamindu Mendis, Rovman Powell, Ishan Jayaratne, TM Sampath, Sachindu Colombage, Lahiru Kumara, Al-Amin Hossain/Mohammad Irfan
Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JK Team News
The team comprehensively won the last game and unless there is an injury concern or they want to give rest to some player, we don't think they will make any changes to the combination.
JK Key Players
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore - After a terrific performance in Abu Dhabi T10 League, Cadmore made an immediate impact in Lanka Premier League as well. He scored a blazing 45 against Dambulla to help Jaffna claim an easy win. He is going to be a crucial player for the Kings in the tournament.
- Shoaib Malik - The veteran scored a brisk 26 off just 10 balls in the last game. He was brilliant in the 20-20 World Cup as well. He is a vital player for Kings, not just with the bat but with the ball as well.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Everything Hasaranga has touched of late has turned into gold. The spinner has been the nemesis for most batters recently. He's the biggest threat for the Warriors in the coming game.
JK Team Form
Jaffna looks a brutal team and showed their prowess with a remarkable win over Dambulla Giants.
Jaffna Kings Predicted Playing 11
Upul Tharanga, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Avishka Fernando, Shoaib Malik, Thisara Perera (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chaturanga de Silva, Suranga Lakmal, Maheesh Theekshana, Jayden Seales
