We are in the third game of the Lanka Premier League 2024, where the Colombo Strikers will begin their campaign, taking on the Kandy Falcons. The Falcons had a poor season last year, finishing at the bottom of the points table, and shall aim for a good start. The Kandy Falcons won their first game against the Dambulla Sixers and shall look to continue with the same momentum.
The Colombo Strikers won just three games last year and struggled with their form. The side has roped in several new players this year, and it will be interesting to see if they can hit form in the first game. Kandy Falcons' batsmen are in good form, and we expect a close contest on a flat track.

The Strikers have gone in for a new-look squad this year, and skipper Thisara Perera would look to get them off to a good start. The side has the right mix of youth and experience and shall look to do well. Perera would know about the strengths of the Kandy Falcons, expect a good show from his senior players, and earn their first points for the season.
The side will need a good start from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Muhammad Waseem, as both players can score at a quick pace. Glenn Phillips, Sadeera Samarawickrama, and Angelo Perera will look to do well in the middle order. They have depth in the batting and expect runs from Thisara Perera, Shadab Khan, and Chamika Karunaratne.
On the bowling front, the side needs a good spell with the new ball from Taskin Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana. Dunith Wellalage and Shadab Khan will look to keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. Thisara Perera and Chamika Karunaratne will look forward to doing well in the ing role.

Wanindu Hasaranga's team has made a perfect start to the season. In a high-scoring contest, they defeated the Dambulla Sixers by 6 wickets. They face a strong side in this game and must do well. Hasaranga shall expect a better show from his bowlers as they struggled in the death overs against the Sixers.
Dinesh Chandimal played well in the last game, and he will look to deliver a good start in this game with Andre Fletcher. Angelo Matthews adds experience to the middle order and shall look to do well with Mohammad Haris and Kamindu Mendis. Dasun Shanaka played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add quick runs with Hasaranga in the death overs.
Dasun Shanaka and Dushmantha Chameera bowled well in the last game, and the team expects a similar performance from this new ball pair. The middle overs were bad, and Hasaranga must bowl tight overs with Mohammad Hasnain. The team needs a good show in the ing role from Kamindu Mendis and Chamath Gomez.
Kandy is one of those teams that scores most of their runs in boundaries. In their last game, they smashed 18 fours and totally outplayed their opponents with their smart batting. We back Kandy to hit over 14.5 fours in today's match.
The experienced wicket keeper batter scored a match winning half century (65 runs) in the last game. He is the in-form batter and having played the last game at the same venue, we back Chandimal to continue his good form and score over 21.5 runs in today's match.

We would see clear skies over Pallekele. The surface would be a flat one where batsmen would be able to play their strokes freely. Bowlers have little margin for error, and the side that bats first in the game shall need 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has large boundaries, but the wicket here is flat, and the outfield is lightning fast. Batsmen have enjoyed scoring runs in the past. There isn't much for the fast bowlers like all other grounds in the country. Spinners enjoy a good record as the surface lets them grip and run the ball.
The pitch at Pallekele International Stadium is a balanced track and the total aggregate score in the last match played at this venue is 362 runs. Both Colombo Strikers and Kandy Falcons possess the best batting lineups and we predict the total aggregate score to be over 337.5 runs.
As we saw in the last game, the sides have found it challenging to defend totals at this venue. Big scores have been chased here, and evening weather makes it tough to bowl in the second innings. The side winning the toss here would have no hesitation in bowling first.
The Colombo Strikers have gone in for several new players, and it may take some time for them to gel together. They have a strong batting lineup but need a good show from their bowlers to defeat the Kandy Falcons. The Falcons have picked up momentum with a win in the last game. We expect a close contest, but the Falcons will be the favorites.
