TEAMS PREVIEW

Dambulla Sixers Preview

After three consecutive losses, Mohammad Nabi's side defeated the Colombo Strikers by 8 wickets. It was a strong show from the batting lineup that destroyed the bowling attack. The side will look to take confidence from this win and improve its position on the points table. They need a better show from their bowlers, as it has been the team's weakness.  

Reeza Hendricks and Kusal Perera set up a 154-run stand in the last game, and the team needs a strong start from the pair. Mark Chapman, Lahiru Udara, and Nuwanidu Fernando are important players in the middle order and shall look to add runs. Chamindu Wickramasinghe and Nabi will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.    

The bowling attack has struggled in all games, and the side will expect early strikes from the new-ball pair of Nuwan Pradeep and Dilshan Madushanka. Mustafizur Rahman must use his experience and bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Dushan Hemantha. Nabi and Chamindu Wickramasinghe look forward to doing well in the ing role.

Mohammad Nabi (c), Kusal Perera, Reeza Hendricks, Lahiru Udara (wk), Nuwanidu Fernando, Mark Chapman, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Mustafizur Rahman, Nuwan Pradeep

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We would see clear skies over Dambulla. It will be a flat surface where batsmen can play their strokes freely. There is little margin of error for the bowlers on this track. The side that bats first in the game shall need 180 runs on the board to feel safe.

DAS vs GLT Pitch Report

Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium is a good hunting ground for the batsmen, and they enjoy the true bounce and pace on the surface coupled with the fast outfield. Spinners do well at this venue as the wicket assists them. Fast bowlers must use their variations as the wicket has little to offer.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing scores is always easy in Sri Lanka, as the wickets stay true throughout the game. In most games at this venue, the side batting second has won. Hence, the captains will not hesitate to bow first on this wicket.
