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.

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.
