Dambulla Aura vs Jaffna Kings Chance of Winning
Dambulla Aura are coming off a hard fought win over Colombo Strikers in the previous match. Batting first Dambulla Aura finished at 192/6 with the help of a scintillating half-century from Kusal Mendis (87 runs off 46 balls) and a magnificent fifty from Sadeera Samarawickrama (59 runs off 35 balls). Both Mendis and Samarwickrama added a record 120 run partnership for the second wicket. In reply to Dambulla’s huge total Colombo were in the game for most of their innings but a magical spell of 2/34 and 1/27 from Noor Ahmad and Hayden Kerr helped Dambulla Aura to register their second win of the season by 10 runs.
Jaffna Kings are coming off a huge loss against B-Love Kandy in their last match. Batting first Jaffna Kings were pegged back by some quality bowling from the B-Love Kandy bowlers as they restricted the Kings to 117/9 on the back of three wicket hauls from Wanindu Hasaranga and Nuwan Preadeep. Jaffna Kings then failed to defend the total as Wanindu Hasaranga launched an all-out assault on Jaffna Kings to seal the win for his team. The loss against B-Love Kandy has had a huge impact on the net-run rate for Jaffna Kings.
- Dambulla Aura Chance of Winning: 54%
