BLK vs JK Live Score: TEAMS PREVIEW
B-Love Kandy Preview
Wanindu Hasaranga might not be happy with his team’s performance in the last two fixtures where they suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of their opponents. BLK suffered a narrow 20 runs loss at the hands of their opponents Dambulla Aura in their last fixture. They will surely aim to rectify their mistakes & win this eliminator clash.
Fakhar Zaman & Mohammad Harris who have been consistent with the bat will continue to be their biggest hopes at the top order. While the onus of the middle order will be on Dinesh Chandimal. The consistent batter should form meaningful stands with Angelo Matthews & Captain Hasaranga to emerge with flying colors. Their batting order comprises depth & will expect crucial cameos from Chaturanga de Silva, Asif Ali, and Isuru Udana.
The team will also expect good spells from Angelo Mathews & Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman with the new ball as they face a formidable top order. Udana has been consistent with his bowling lines in the last fixtures & must provide good support to Hasaranga in the middle overs. Chaturanga de Silva & Nuwan Pradeep adds balance to their bowling attack.
Jaffna Kings Preview
Coming to Jaffna Kings they had a batting collapse in their last fixture against Galle Titans. Their top order could manage just 89 runs losing 7 wickets. Perera & CO will aim to forget his performance & come up with a more balanced show in this fixture.
The team will hope of getting some crucial breakthroughs from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Nishan Madushka, as both these players have been inconsistent. Chris Lynn, Dunith Wellalage & Shoaib Malik must deliver in the middle order. While David Miller, Asela Gunaratne & Perera will aim of returning with crucial runs in the lower order.
The bowlers will face a tough challenge & will aim for crucial scalps from Dilshan Madushanka and Maheesh Theekshana. Malik should use his experience & bowl good lines in the middle overs with Nuwan Thushara. While Wellalage and Perera must deliver the goods in the supporting role.
Pitch Conditions
The pitch at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is a batters-friendly pitch & has a fast outfield. Batters can bat here nicely & can post huge totals on board. The same scenario is expected in today’s Eliminator clash. Wicket doesn’t offer much assistance to fast bowlers & assists spinners. The spinners have returned with results with the amount of turn & bounce it produces. Considering the nature of the pitch, teams winning the toss should opt to bat first & put huge totals on board.
