Colombo Strikers and Kandy Flacons (Source : Twitter )00
Colombo Strikers (CS) defeated Kandy Falcons (KFL) both times they faced in the ongoing Lanka Premier League (LPL 2024). They hold the mental edge ahead of the Eliminator but the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side has the ability to upset Colombo when they face each other on (Thursday) July 18, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
When it comes to form, both Colombo and Kandy managed to win two matches each in their last five games. The defending champions Kandy played a do-or-die game against Dambulla Sixers in their final league game, in which, they picked up a comfortable 54-run win. Opener Andre Fletcher and Kamindu Mendis had a terrific time with the bat, while skipper Hasaranga and Dasun Shanaka were the stars with the ball.
Meanwhile, Colombo lost to the same opponent in their final league game. They struggled with the bat and that needs to change as a defeat can rule them out of the competition.
