B-Love Kandy vs Jaffna Kings Match Preview

Under the leadership of Wanindu Hasaranga, Kandy initially had a subdued beginning to their campaign, suffering two losses. However, a subsequent impressive streak of four consecutive victories established them as strong contenders for a top-two finish.

Nonetheless, a setback in their recent form, losing their last two matches, led to their displacement by the Galle Titans in the points table. Eager to rebound from their 20-run defeat against Dambulla Aura in their league stage culmination, Kandy aims to rectify their performance.

Conversely, Thisara Perera-led Kings, the reigning champions, have faced challenges in the tournament so far. Despite tying at six points with the Colombo Strikers by the league stage conclusion, their advancement was secured due to a superior net run rate. Heading into the match following a seven-wicket loss to the Galle Titans, the Kings’ previous encounter saw an eight-run defeat against Kandy.
