Rain has been an irritation and for NEK it has been all the more frustrating. They are yet to get a fully finished game but with free points they are still standing well on the table.

JT vs NEK Key Players

Kasun Rajitha

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

Nuwan Thushara

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.
