B-Love Kandy vs Dambulla Aura Chance of Winning

B-Love Kandy are off to a horrendous start to their campaign as they lost both their matches in the tournament. In their previous match against Galle Titans, bowling first Kandy were in a strong position at the end of the first ten overs restricting Galle to under 7 runs per over but what followed in the last ten overs resulted in Kandy chasing down a huge total as their opponents finished at 180/5 in 20 overs. In reply B-Love Kandy’s top and middle order were bundled out by Kasun Rajitha and Richard Ngarava. The middle and lower order couldn't score runs either as B-Love Kandy were bowled out for 97 runs in 17.1 overs handing a huge win to Galle Titans.

After a loss in the super over against Galle Titans, Dambulla Aura bounced back with a win over Jaffna Kings in their previous match. Bowling first Dambulla bowlers were smashed to all corners of the ground by Gurbaz, but Damulla’s bowlers managed to make a comeback and restrict Jaffna Kings to 129/7 in 20 overs on the back of Binura Fernando’s two wicket haul and Dhananjaya de Silva’s economical spell of 1/17 in four overs. Dambulla then chased down the target in 16.2 overs with the help of Avishka Fernando’s half century (52 runs off 32 balls) and quickfire cameo from Kusal Perara (34 runs off 22 balls).
