Although they sit on the bottom of the Lanka Premier League after six games, Kandy Falcons did beat Jaffna Kings in Match 11 and by a convincing seven wicket margin! They will be looking to take the confidence from that victory into this re-match.

Wanindu Hasaranga and Andre Fletcher were the only players to pick up a wicket in the last game but it was Dasun Shanaka, Dushmantha Chameera and Ramesh Mendis who all picked up 2+ dismissals in the last head to head with the Kings.

This is an exciting game as although it is top versus bottom, it is the side sitting at the bottom of the table, Kandy Falcons, who won the last head to head. Jaffna Kings will still be disappointed by that defeat and we predict they will produce a better performance and win this match.
