Kandy Falcons vs Jaffna Kings Top Team Batsmen
Andre Fletcher scored the tournament’s first century in the win over Colombo Stars. He hit 102 not out from 67 balls to get off to a great start. The runs were shared out against the Galle Gladiators, but it worked again, with Kandy scoring with five overs to go.
The Jaffna Kings batters are full of confidence after requiring only three batters in their win over Dambulla Aura. Both openers scored half-centuries in Hambantota, but with a slightly faster wicket in Kandy, they may find it easier to bat.
Kandy Falcons vs Jaffna Kings Top Team Bowlers
In Kandy Falcons’ second game, the experienced Carlos Brathwaite was the top bowler. He had some strong batting and bowling performances in the Abu Dhabi T10, but he wowed the crowd in Hambantota with 4-14. Isuru Udana, a left-arm quick, also caught the eye with 1-19 from four overs.
Spinner Maheesh Theekshana took 3-20 from four overs in the previous match, and he continues to impress whether playing for Sri Lanka or for franchises around the world. Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, a young leg-spinner, had his best T20 figures against Dambulla and looks like a player to watch in this match.
