The Lanka Premier League welcomes a new team as B-Love Kandy makes its debut. They go up against the Colombo Strikers who did a decent job last year but would like to go a little farther this time around.
Date: July 31st, 2023
Time: 7:30 AM IST
Venue: Colombo
It will be cloudy and humid throughout this fixture.
The nature of the new ground is uncertain but given the nature of the format, a flat pitch offering a lot of runs could be expected making it better for the side batting second.
Fakhar Zaman, Navod Paranvithrana, Kamindu Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Asif Ali, Mohammad Haris, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dushmantha Chameera, Isuru Udana, Nuwan Pradeep
Babar Azam, Pathum Nissanka, Niroshan Dickwella, Ifthikar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Lorcan Tucker, Chamika Karunaratne, Matheesha Pathirana, Naseem Shah, Ramesh Mendis, Lakshan Sandakan
Dushmantha Chameera
With the World Cup approaching, Dushmantha Chameera’s fitness and workload both will be tested in the upcoming tournament. The selectors will have a close eye on him given he is a huge part of their plans for the upcoming event.
Niroshan Dickwella
Niroshan Dickwella lit up the tournament with a rapid knock in the first game to show that he is still a very capable batter and clean hitter in white-ball cricket. With a lot on the line, the tournament will be a chance for him to show that he can be an asset in the white-ball team as a hitter down the order.
Colombo might see themselves as favorites here despite the experience and firepower in Kandy’s line-up.
