CLS vs JSK Match Prediction - Dec 12, 2022

The Jaffna Kings come into this match with a magnificent win in their previous match and stay in second place on the Lanka Premier League table. They will be taking on the Colombo Stars who have lost two out of the three matches they have played so far.

The cricket betting sites have the Jaffna Kings as the clear favorites and that is quite understandable. 

 

CLS vs JSK Team Previews

Colombo Stars

The Colombo Stars changed their batting lineup in the previous match but the result did not really change. Niroshan Dickwella was the only batter that score some runs in the top order before Ravi Bopara stepped up in the lower order. Players such as Charith Asalanka, Angelo Matthews, and Dinesh Chadmial have all failed to make any serious contribution so far.

This lack of batting firepower could cost the Colombo Stars heavily against a strong batting team like the Jaffna Kings.

The bowling unit is also not quite at its best so far. Naveen-ul-Haq and Suranga Lakmal were supposed to be the bowlers that set the tone for the Colombo Stars but they have both been quite expensive so far. Dominic Drakes, Ravi Bopara, and Navod Paravithana are the other bowlers rounding out the lineup. 

Colombo Stars Playing 11

Niroshan Dickwella, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Navod Paranavithana, Nishan Madushka, Charith Asalanka, Benny Howell, Seekkuge Prasanna, Dominic Drakes, Naveen ul Haq, Kasun Rajitha.


Jaffna Kings

The Jaffna Kings scored 240 runs in their previous outing. Rahmanullah Gurbaz smashed 73 from 35 balls with five sixes to lead the way and was very well supported by Avishka Fernando, Shoaib Malik, and Dhananjaya de Silva. This batting lineup has been promising to break out for a long time and now that it showed what it is capable of, we think they could go from strength to strength.

In comparison to the Colombo Stars, the Jaffna Kings are certainly the better batting lineup.

Among the bowlers, Binura Fernando bowled brilliantly in the previous match, and with Maheesh Theekshana in the lineup, there is some serious quality in the bowling unit as well.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Pallekele are expected to be a bit overcast but not much rain is expected. The pitch here is much better for batting in comparison to what saw in Hambantota. We think another high-scoring match is in store.

We are going to back the Jaffna Kings to win. The Colombo Stars are clearly beyond their best and their core of players is now at the end of its career. The Kings have a stronger bowling lineup and are better as a team.
