BLK vs JK Match Preview

Jaffna Kings have won three and lost three of their six matches. The team has been inconsistent, owing primarily to the batters’ poor performance. Expectations were high from players such as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Charith Asalanka, and David Miller, but the batters have struggled, hurting the team.
