Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy Betting Tips

Well, I never thought I would say this, but Hasaranga’s all-round charisma is getting too hard to ignore. The highest run-scorer and wicket-taker for B-Love Kandy so far, Hasaranga has carved a distinct niche for himself in the 2023 LPL and thus, I am pretty sure he will have a magical hand to play on Saturday’s encounter. Further, discount Towhid Hridoy at your own peril. The Bangladeshi batter has been impeccable this season and will continue to force his way into the record books.

Predicted Playing XI

B-Love Kandy Team Form

After losing the first two games of the season, B-Love Kandy have made an excellent comeback to win the next three games and that have propelled them to the top of the table. They have an excellent combination of retro and modern giants, hence it is likely that they will continue to dominate the proceedings.

David Miller, Maheesh Theekshana, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Thisara Perera, Charith Asalanka, Dunith Wellalage, Shoaib Malik, Pathum Kumara, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Theesan Vithushan, Asanka Manoj, Nishan Madushka, Asitha Fernando, Hardus Viljoen, Nuwan Thushara, Dilshan Madushanka, Zaman Khan, Ashan Randika, Ratnarajah Thenurathan, Chris Lynn, Asela Gunaratne, Nandre Burger, Towhid Hridoy

Predicted Playing XI

Jaffna Kings Team Form

With three wins and three losses, Jaffna Kings, the defending champions, have found themselves at the third position on the points table. They are pretty successful in terms of managing the averages but can they push it all out against B-Love Kandy to win the bout and keep their chances alive? That will be the question they would be asking themselves.

Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy Head-To-Head

Jaffna Kings and B-Love Kandy have played each other eight times in the Lanka Premier League, with the former winning four matches and the latter securing the bragging rights in three games. That is as good a position as to be in for Jaffna.

Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy Betting Odds

Kandy to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

B-Love Kandy have a run-rate of 9.1 in the powerplay this season, which is the best among all sides in the Lanka Premier League 2023. Even though Fakhar Zaman is yet to come well, they understand the infrastructure they can possess to entail the audience; hence it is only natural that Kandy will have an enterprising start to the innings. So my bet is on B-Love Kandy to do well on Saturday.

Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy Best Batters

Towhid Hridoy to be JK’ best batter (Parimatch)

Towhid Hridoy's resurgence has taken a remarkable turn in the LPL 2023 as he has emerged as the standout performer for Jaffna Kings in the current season. Having amassed an impressive tally of 155 runs already, Hridoy showcases an impressive batting average of 35.25 while maintaining a striking rate of 134.28.

Hasaranga to be Kandy’s best batter (Parimatch)

Wanindu Hasaranga averages 44.66 in the 2023 season of the Lanka Premier League and is the highest run-scorer for B-Love Kandy this season. The spin-bowling all-rounder scored two consecutive half-centuries in the last two games, which certainly added a new tinge of beauty to the performance. Hasaranga further scores brownie points from the perspective that he is an excellent stroke-maker, and Colombo aids that kind very easily.

Jaffna Kings vs B-Love Kandy Best Bowlers

Dunith Wellalage to be JK’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Dunith Wellalage has six wickets from five matches and has found himself at the top of the pile as far as the wicket-taking chart for Jaffna Kings are concerned. As a matter of fact, he is the second-highest wicket-taker for Jaffna; hence it is prudent that Wellalage should be considered a force of nature. His economy rate of 6.92 is further impressive, which adds an extra tinge of belief.

Hasaranga to be Kandy’s best bowler (Parimatch)

It doesn’t always happen that the same batter who is the team’s highest run-scorer comes back in contention as the best bowler, but such is the might of Wanindu Hasaranga. The spinner is the highest wicket-taker in the tournament so far, and has eight wickets from five games. Hence, instead of fretting over, back him to be the highest-wicket taker.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: B-Love Kandy

From Wanindu Hasaranga to Fakhar Zaman, B-Love Kandy have some excellent players in their line-up. They surely line up with Jaffna, but the all-round edge that Hasaranga has provided this season would make one confident that it is better to go with B-Love Kandy as the potential winner in this game. Further, Jaffna have been a prisoner of their own reputation and will have a killer game in their arsenal.
