B-Love Kandy vs Dambulla Sixers 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.

B-Love Kandy vs Dambulla Sixers Betting Odds

B-Love-Kandy have got a great variety of all-rounders in their squad for the 2024 season. Wanindu Hasaranga will be leading a well-balanced side once again as B-Love-Kandy begin their title defence. Andre Fletcher and Azam Khan are more options for Hasaranga to explore. The all-rounders’ list features some big names like Kyle Mayers and Chaturanga de Silva. Dasun Shanaka can be a good option who’s a proven match-finisher. Mohammad Hasnain and Dushmantha Chameera will be the key bowlers to watch out for in the Kandy squad.

Dambulla have packed a much stronger bowling attack this time around and will be hoping to settle the scores with Kandy. This year they’ve got some big guns from Afghanistan like Hazratullah Zazai and Ibrahim Zadran. There aren’t many batting superstars this time around in the Dambulla squad. They need the younger and less experienced Sri Lankan batters to step up and deliver big knocks this time around. Zazai should be the ideal candidate for the opening slot along with Asela Gunaratne. Nuwanidu Fernando should be a good bet in the middle overs. Danushka Gunathilaka has plenty of international experience and has opened for Sri Lanka. Akila Dananjaya continues to be part of the bowling attack alongside Thushara, Madhushanka and Mustafizzur Rahman.
