CLS vs DHG Match Prediction - Dec 14, 2022

The Colombo Stars and Dambulla Aura are the two bottom-placed teams in the Lanka Premier League 2022 right now. While the Colombo Stars have won one match out of the four that they have played, Dambulla Aura has lost all of its four. 

Despite their poor performances, neither team is out of the running for a place in the knockouts. 

CLS vs DHG Team Previews

Colombo Stars

An excellent inning by Angelo Matthews was not enough to help the Colombo Stars get over the line against the Jaffna Kings. While Matthews played well in the previous match, he has not been consistent enough in recent times. In fact, that lack of consistency has been the theme for the entire Colombo Stars batting lineup. 

There are not enough players contributing and the senior big names seem to be past their best. 

Niroshan Dickwella is the only batter that has been impressive and he will play a big role while opening the batting in this match as well. 

The bowling lineup for the Colombo Stars is decent. Benny Howell and Dominic Drakes are smart picks that add a lot of quality. If they have the runs to defend, the Colombo Stars have a bowling unit that should be able to deliver.

Colombo Stars Playing 11

Niroshan Dickwella, Angelo Mathews, Navod Paranavithana, Ravi Bopara, Dinesh Chandimal, Charith Asalanka, Benny Howell, Karim Janat, Kasun Rajitha, Suranga Lakmal, Jeffrey Vandersay.


Dambulla Giants

Dambulla Aura lost its previous match by 77 runs. That is a massive defeat and just underlines the problems that Dambulla Aura has hit in LPL 2022. None of its batters have gotten going. Bhanuka Rajapaksa , Jordon Cox, Dasun Shanaka, and Sikandar Raza have all disappointed. 

In their current form, Dambulla Aura is going to struggle to get enough runs on the board in most matches. Chasing down a par total could also be tricky for them. 

The bowling unit for Dambulla Aura is also one of the weakest in the entire Lanka Premier League. They lack any real wicket-taking threats and seem to have made some very strange choices when it comes to their overseas players. 

The struggle that Dambulla Aura has been facing is because of deep-rooted flaws in their squad. Individual brilliance can always help overcome that in the T20 format but overall, the team is more likely to struggle than succeed. 

Dambulla Giants Playing 11

Shevon Daniel, Lasith Croospulle, Jordan Cox, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka, Chathuranga Silva, Thomas Abell, Noor Ahmad, Pramod Madushan, Paul Van Meekeren, Lahiru Kumara.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Pallekele are expected to be a bit overcast. There could be some rain interruptions to contend with. As far as the pitch goes, Pallekele is one of the best batting surfaces in Sri Lanka. The average scores here have been around 170 and that should continue. 

CLS vs DHG Betting Tips

We think the Colombo Stars have a good chance of picking up their second win in LPL 2022. They have a slightly better bowling lineup and while neither team is in good batting form, we do think the Colombo Stars have a slight edge there as well. 

Bet on the Colombo Stars to win.
