Such a wonderful campaign these ones are enjoying, Dambulla Viiking lead the way in the Lanka Premier League having won five of their seven fixtures so far. Should they emerge victorious in this final group stage game, DV will clinch top-spot on the log. On the last matchday, Dambulla Viiking won the toss and elected to take the first bowl. The likes of Dasun Shanaka, Ramesh Mendis and Kasun Rajitha were in tip-top form as their brilliance helped the side to a well-deserved victory. Given Paul Stirlings horror show in the opening overs, Shanakas charges were made to chase down 169 runs to secure the win. Impressively, they managed to turn the tables before match-end. Also, Upul Tharanga had a stinker for Dambulla Viiking in the game.
Still in with a shout at finishing in first-place on the standings, the Colombo Kings will be approaching this fixture with every intent of sweeping the opposition aside. Having secured a whopping eight points this term, CK sit third in the league. On the batting front, coach Herschelle Gibbs will be counting on the likes of Laurie Evans, Angelo Matthews and Dinesh Chandimal to score the most runs. On the last matchday, Chandimal was the one to take the center stage, registering 35 runs off 20 balls. Coming down to the middle order, CK have real quality with big names such as Isuru Udana, Andre Russell and Thikshila De Silva in the lineup. These three combined wonderfully against Galle Gladiators last time out to post a staggering 171 runs across 20 overs.
