HBT vs KB Key Players

Dinesh Chandimal

Chandimal recently made a return to the shortest format but is yet to get again. There is some competition for spots and how he battles now will determine his future in white-ball cricket.

Vijaykanth Viyashkanth

The bowling attack is getting pretty competitive for Sri Lanka. With another league on the block Viyashkanth has a chance to add his name on the list given he is already a fringe player and can put pressure on the regulars.
