Dambulla Aura defeated Jaffna Kings by eight wickets in their most recent match in the ongoing Lanka Premier League, and they will try to duplicate that performance. Binura Fernando and Dhananjaya de Silva and Avishka Fernando will support themselves once more to complete the task because they were both fantastic with the ball and bat, respectively.
In the meantime, the middle-order hitters for the three-time champion Jaffna Kings must perform. Charith Asalanka scored a half-century, but his strike rate continues to be an issue. There is potential for growth because Towhid Hridoy, the first game’s Player of the Match, found it difficult to get going.
