Lanka Premier League 2021, Dambulla Giants vs Kandy Warriors: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast, pitch report and live streaming details
The Dambulla Giants and the Kandy Warriors will cross swords in the second match of the Lanka Premier League 2021 on Monday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The Giants, led by Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka, have a strong team at their disposal at the T20 championship. Niroshan Dickwella, Sohaib Maqsood and Najibullah Zadran are expected to play key roles for them in the tournament too.
Shanaka and Najibullah are fresh from playing in the T20 World Cup 2021, and should be high on confidence. Marchant de Lange is expected to lead their bowling attack after having a decent run in the T10 League. The team will also look up to the wily Imran Tahir.
The Warriors, meanwhile, led by Asela Gunaratne, have a blend of youth and experience in their ranks. Ahmed Shehzad and Cameron Delport are expected to deliver for them. Charith Asalanka had an outstanding campaign for the Lankans in the World Cup, and should be high on confidence.
Phillip Salt is also a destructive option for them at the top of the order. Lahiru Kumara, Al Amin Hossain and Mohammad Irfan are three of their genuine fast-bowling options. They also have the ambidextrous Kamindu Mendis, who is more than a handy batter as well.
