With the likes of Tim Seifert and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the side as well, scoring runs should not be an issue in this game.

Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JKS Team News
There was one change for Jaffna Kings following their opening game defeat to Galle Marvels as they brought in Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai with Pramod Madushan dropping out. The change delivered a victory so we expect the same XI for this clash.
JKS Team Batting
Jaffna Kings have had strong contributions with the bat from Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando and captain Charith Aslanka across their two opening matches. We are yet to see much from Rilee Rossouw or Kusal Mendis but both are very strong T20 batters so this could well be the game they deliver.
JKS Team Bowling
It has been a fine start to the tournament for spinner Dhananjaya de Silva who already has four wickets to his name, however he was the only bowler to pick up a wicket in their win over Dambulla Sixers. Bowling more wicket taking deliveries is a challenge the bowling unit needs to step up to in this game.
JKS Team Form
Jaffna Kings struggled with the ball again in their last match but overall their batting looks very strong.
Jaffna Kings Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Avishka Fernando, Rilee Rossouw, Charith Asalanka (c), Dhananjaya de Silva, Azmatullah Omarzai, Fabian Allen, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Asitha Fernando, Jason Behrendorff
🏆 Galle Marvels vs Jaffna Kings Prediction
This looks like being another close match between these sides and we could be in for another last ball thriller just as we saw in Match 2! Jaffna Kings have a strong batting line-up but the weaknesses in their bowling means we are predicting another victory for Galle Marvels.
