NEK vs HBT Key Players

Kasun Rajitha

The bowling attack is getting pretty competitive for Sri Lanka. With another league on the block Rajitha has a chance to add his name on the list given he is already a fringe player and can put pressure on the regulars.

Matheesha Pathirana

Thusara's slinging action makes him an asset in short form cricket and he is someone with a good amount of control. While he may be lower on pace he has the accuracy to make up for it.
