B-Love Kandy vs Colombo Strikers Betting Tips
B-Love Kandy to score low before 1st dismissal (@Parimatch)
B-Love Kandy has produced one of the best opening partnerships in the previous edition of the competition. However, the team struggled against the bowlers of Colombo Strikers. The opening pair of Dinesh Chandimal and Thanake Dabare could only post 4 runs before their first dismissal in both the games. The opening pair is still not solid in the current competition. Andre Fletcher and Dinesh Chandimal opened for the team in the first game and posted 1 run before their first wicket. Fletcher really struggled against the new ball and lost his wicket on the second ball of the game. Having said that, Kandy will be losing an early wicket in the next game.
Match Prediction Best Odds
B-Love Kandy vs Colombo Strikers Toss Prediction
It is a balanced wicket with good bounce and carry. Fast bowlers would find some help early on with the new ball. At least 170 or more should be on the cards for the team batting first. Anything less than that will not be a competitive total. Last year teams chasing enjoyed the upper hand at this venue and B-Love-Kandy had chased down 157 against Dambulla with 7 wickets in hand. Both teams have a strong bowling attack and would back their bowlers to restrict the opposition to a low score.
Weather Report
The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 31 degrees Celsius in Pallekele on the match day.
