Kandy Falcons Team News & Playing 11
KFS Team News
After getting off to a winning start in Match 1 of the tournament against Dambulla Sixers, Kandy Falcons come into this game with only two points on the board due to a 51 run defeat against Colombo Strikers. A win in this match could see them up to second place.
KFS Team Batting
A powerful top order has been key for Kandy Falcons and we expect the opening pair of keeper-batter Dinesh Chandimal and Andre Fletcher to both come out with an attacking intent in this match. Wanindu Hasaranga, Angelo Mathews and Dasun Shanaka make for a strong middle order.
KFS Team Bowling
Of the six bowlers used, Kamindu Mendis was the only member of Kandy Falcons’ attack to go wicketless in their last game and as they are up against the same batting line-up this time, we anticipate there will be plenty of confidence from Wanindu Hasaranga’s men with the ball in hand.
KFS Team Form
Kandy Falcons won their opening game by six wickets before losing by 51 runs in Match 3.

Colombo Strikers Team News & Playing 11
CLS Team News
When Colombo Strikers thrashed Kandy Falcons in their opening game, hopes were high for a strong campaign. However, even though they are up against the same opposition in this match, they were unable to defeat Galle Marvels in their last fixture.
CLS Team Batting
Chasing 180 runs to beat Galle Marvels in Match 5, Colombo Strikers could only reach 172/9 after their 20 overs although that figure could have been a lot lower considering they were 117/7! There are plenty of international stars in their batting line-up who could make the difference in this game.
CLS Team Bowling
Although Colombo Strikers lost their last game, they did bowl out the opposition for 179. Therefore, the key for Thisara Perera’s bowling unit will be to keep the run-rate down in this match. Binura Fernando and Shadab Khan both come into this match after excellent bowling performances against Galle Marvels.
CLS Team Form
Colombo Strikers had a big win in their opening clash before a narrow defeat in Match 5.

🏆 Kandy Falcons vs Colombo Strikers Prediction
It was a one-sided affair when Kandy Falcons and Colombo Strikers met in Match 3 but this is on a different pitch at a different venue. We expect Kandy Falcons to be more competitive but we still expect Colombo Strikers to come out on top.
