Dambulla Aura vs Jaffna Kings Betting Tips

The way Rahmanullah Gurbaz went about his business in the opening game, it is clear why we are in a situation where he may actually go on to score a half-century here. Tell me, aren’t all the signs leading us in that direction? While I am confident that Dilshan Madushanka and Hardus Viljoen will have their share of fun, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, who won the Man of the match award in the first game, will not stay far behind.

Dambulla Aura's performance in the LPL has been underwhelming. Out of their last 11 games, they have secured only three wins, which includes a loss to Galle Titans in their first game of the 2023 edition, albeit in the Super Over. To have a better standing in the game, it is imperative that they don’t causally stroll through.

With an impressive tally of 9627 runs, he has been consistently sought-after in the format. His average of 35.92 and a strike rate of 139.3 demonstrate his ability to score quickly and consistently. Moreover, his impressive count of 44 half-centuries and four centuries further emphasizes his capability to perform at the highest level.

Kusal Mendis to be Dambulla’s best batter (Parimatch)

Kusal Mendis has established himself as one of Sri Lanka's top run-scorers in T20 cricket, amassing an impressive total of 3219 runs. His consistent performances are evident from his average of 29.26. However, what truly sets him apart is his remarkable count of 27 half-centuries in T20s.

Dambulla Aura vs Jaffna Kings Best Bowlers

Maheesh Theekshana to be Jaffna’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Maheesh Theekshana has developed a knack for outplaying the opposition with consistent and reliable performances. With 120 wickets in the format and an average of 23.9, he clearly knows how to get the job done effectively. Playing for Jaffna Kings, he has already taken 26 wickets in just 20 matches, showcasing his immense potential and impact on the team's success. Betting on Theekshana seems like a wise choice, given his growing reputation and ability to contribute significantly to his team's success.

Noor Ahmed to be Dambulla’s best bowler (Parimatch)

With an impressive tally of 62 wickets in T20s at an average of 27.3 and a fantastic strike rate of 22.4, Noor Ahmed is undoubtedly a potent threat to any opposition. After a sensational Indian Premier League campaign with Gujarat Titans, Noor Ahmed has heightened confidence and at the peak of his prowess. Given his form and skill, it won't be surprising to witness him adding more wickets to his already impressive overall tally, further solidifying his position as a top-notch wicket-taker in T20 cricket.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Jaffna Kings

Jaffna Kings are the strongest LPL side of all-time, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise why Melbet is expecting them to be the leader in the section. The fact that Jaffna have the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, David Miller, and Shoaib Malik to bank upon makes things clear in a way. Furthermore, regarding the fact that they have many utility players like Towhid Hridoy, who scored a fifty in the opening game, makes it easier. So trust them to deliver for the side and help us win the bet.
