The Jaguars are on the bottom of the table but more due to a lack of cricket rather than poor cricket. They were waiting to get moving in the tournament as well and will be hoping the weather allows them time on the field.

CJ vs GM Key Players

Prabath Jayasuriya

Prabath Jayasuriya recently proved that he can succeed in Tests overseas. He now has to prove he can do so in white-ball cricket. The challenge though would be to do so without losing his technique in red-ball cricket.

Matheesha Pathirana

Thusara's slinging action makes him an asset in short form cricket and he is someone with a good amount of control. While he may be lower on pace he has the accuracy to make up for it.
