Colombo Stars Team News & Probable Playing XIs
The main problem for Colombo thus far has been their batting. With the exception of Niroshan Dickwella, who opened the innings with two fifties, the others have been ineffective. Captain Angelo Mathews, Charith Asalanka, and Dinesh Chandimal should all begin to score right away. Only Dominic Drakes (3 wickets in 3 innings at 9.09) and Suranga Lakmal (2 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of 7.90) have left a lasting impact.
