Lanka Premier League 2024- Kandy Falcons vs Jaffna Kings Prediction, Qualifier 2 Match
Kandy Falcons vs Jaffna Kings Prediction: Kandy Falcons will take on Jaffna Kings in the qualifier 2 match of the Lanka Premier League 2024 at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Given how Kandy Falcons fared in the league stage, very few would believe that they have managed to reach the Qualifier. And, now they have a serious chance of making it into the finals.
The Falcons are coming into this encounter following a 2-wicket win over Colombo Strikers in the Eliminator match. On the other hand, Jaffna Kings lost to Galle Marvels in the qualifier one match but still have a chance to book their spot for the finals.
Kandy Falcons Review
Kandy Falcons would be riding high on confidence, having won their last two matches. After beating Dambulla Sixers in their last league stage match, they beat Colombo Strikers in the Eliminator clash.
In both encounters, Andre Fletcher looked destructive with the bat, registering scores of 60 off 34 and 20 off 12. It shouldn’t come as a surprise if he scores a big one on Saturday. His partner, Chandimal also needs to step up and give the team a strong start.
Kamindu Mendis played a match-winning knock of 54 off 36 in the last match. He now has two consecutive half-centuries to his name and will be a player to watch out for. Dasun Shanaka showed his effectiveness in the line-up as he performed with both bat and ball.
Shanaka played a crucial knock of 39 off 21, helping the team win the game. He also picked a wicket with the bat. Angelo Mathews is also equally important in your team. An experienced player, Mathews isn’t the one to miss out in the big game.
In the bowling department, Hasaranga continues to prove a puzzle for the opposition. His four overs will once again prove crucial to the team. M Hasnain bowled a brilliant spell of 3 for 24 in the last game. He won’t be a bad pick, either.
Jaffna Kings Review
Jaffna Kings have lost their last two games. Confidence must be low but they need to pick themselves up and come out firing on all cylinders. The Falcons know what Jaffna Kings can do on their day.
They have a quality batting attack. In the last game also, they posted a decent-looking score of 177. The likes of Kusal Mendis (46), Rossouw (40), and Avishka Fernando (52) made vital contributions. However, they would be disappointed to not have finished as good as they would have liked. Fabien Allen and Dhananjaya de Silva’s poor form with bat and ball has made things tough for them.
Bowling continues to be a headache for them. They only managed to pick up three wickets in their last game. Someone needs to turn up on the big day and deliver a match-winning performance with the ball if they have to reach the finals.
Favorite Team in Today Match Prediction
Jaffna Kings are a great batting unit but their bowling is a concern. They have been brilliant throughout the tournament but their recent form isn’t too good. On the other hand, Falcons have managed to reach the qualifier 2 despite blowing hot and cold this season.
On the flip side, the Falcons’ recent form inspires a lot of confidence. They are coming on the back of two consecutive wins and keeping that in mind, one can bet on Falcons to win the game.
Winning Chances of Today Match for the Both Teams
Jaffna Kings have a 45 percent chance of winning the match
