Colombo Stars Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Colombo Stars struggled with a performance that was drastically different from their earlier, dominant performance in this match. The bowling department needed to defend a very tiny total, but they were unable to do so. The bowlers didn’t do very well either, but Jeffrey Vandersay and Benny Howell were very frugal.

Jaffna Kings is the favorite to win this match.

 

There may not be much of a difference in the match because both sides are already guaranteed spots in the semi-finals and the outcome has little bearing on whom they will face. All the players will, nonetheless, be competing to earn a spot in the starting XIs for the semi-finals, so we anticipate that both teams will field squads that are at full strength. The top order of the Jaffna Kings has a lot of batting experience, and we believe that will be sufficient for them to prevail in this game.
