DA vs CS: Teams Preview
Dambulla Aura Preview
Dambulla Aura is gleaming with back-to-back wins as they are on top of the Points table with eight wins in six fixtures. A win in today’s fixture will help them to qualify for Qualifier 1 after ending in the top 2. However, it will be a tough task for batters to get going on a pitch that assists spinners. Thus batters need to be patient if they aim to amass runs on this slow pitch. In their recent fixture, Dambulla chased 134 runs target with Fernando leading the run chase with an unbeaten 70 off 49 balls. In their last three wins, all their key batters have fulfilled their role by returning with crucial runs. Samrawickrama starred with the bat as one of their top 4 batters. The fact that Dambulla can defend a meager total like 134 runs shows the effectiveness of their bowling order. Binura Fernando is in great touch and will be a key bowler to watch out for. Noor Ahmed, Dushan Hemantha, and Dhananjaya de Silva will be crucial in the spin department.
Colombo Strikers Preview
Babar Azam & Co will try their best to return to winning terms in this crucial fixture against Dambulla Aura. They have just four points in their kitty & a loss in this fixture will make their dream of qualifying for the playoffs difficult. In their last fixture against Jaffna Kings their top order comprising Babar, Nissanka, and Udara delivered by playing quick cameos but they failed to convert the start into a big score. Their middle order failed to deliver & heading into this clash Strikers need to return with crucial runs if outclassing mighty Dambulla Aura is on their mind. Their lineup has depth with Nawaz & Karunaratne coming to bat at No 6 & 7. It’s not easy to strike on this pitch & Babar & Patthum have to play their shots carefully to give their team a stable start. In the bowling department, Naseem Shah is their biggest bet who returned with wickets of 2-22. Matheesha Pathirana will be one to watch out for at the death while Laskhan Sandakan will be the Strikers’ hope with the spin. Babar & Patthum will be their biggest hopes against a lethal lineup of Dambulla Aura.

Pitch Report
The pitch in Colombo is sluggish in nature with more assistance to spinners. However, if the team batting first managed to cross 150-160 runs, chasing then becomes an uphill battle. Spinners will play a key role in this fixture with mid-overs being the deciding factor. The weather will be clear with less or no chance of rain. Considering the nature of the pitch team winning the toss should opt to bowl the first clash.
