DA vs JK Match Preview

In the 11th match of the Lanka Premier League, Dambulla Aura will face Jaffna Kings. The game will begin at 7:30 PM IST at Pallekele International Stadium in Pallekele. Dambulla Aura have won two games and lost two. However, with the exception of a game against B-Love Kandy, the team has performed admirably. Their first defeat came in a game that they could have won, losing in a Super Over, so they have had a good season overall. Jaffna Kings, on the other hand, have won two games and lost two. Batting has been inconsistent for the team. Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Charith Asalanka, and Towhid Hridoy have all scored fifty runs, but have failed to do so in the other three games.

Topmost Picks for DA vs JK Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Dambulla Aura

• Kusal Mendis– Kusal Mendis single-handedly helped Dambulla to a huge score of 192-6 against Colombo Strikers. The batter scored 87 runs in 46 ball carnage. Mendis will be looking to deliver another such show and lead the team to back-to-back wins.
• Noor Ahmed – Given the conditions, Noor Ahmed will be the biggest asset for Dambulla Aura in the tournament. Noor has taken three wickets in three games so far.

Top Picks – Jaffna Kings

• Rahmanullah Gurbaz- Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the team’s X-factor. He is someone who sets up a team for a big score. Gurbaz has scored one fifty but failed in the other three games. He needs to be a bit more consistent for the team.
• Maheesh Theekshana – The team’s leading spinner has been below par so far but has the skills to come back strong in the games to come.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for DA vs JK Dream11 Team:

Kusal Mendis(C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz(VC), Avishka Fernando, Charith Asalanka, Towhid Hridoy, Dhananjaya de Silva, Hayden Kerr, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Noor Ahmed, Nandre Burger

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for DA vs JK Dream11 Team:

Vice-captain – Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Dunith Wellalage

Wicketkeeper – Kusal Mendis

DA vs JK Probable Winners:

Dambulla Aura will be the early favorites. With players like Avishka Fernando, the team appears to be stable. Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Sadeera Samaraickrama, and Alex Ross are all contributing to the team’s success. Because Jaffna Kings’ batters have struggled for consistency, Dambulla Aura are our pick. Considering the team combination, Dambulla Aura is expected to win this match.

Dambulla start their season with a tight game as they will be a little upset at not getting over the line after taking it down to the wire. Jaffna too will know that there is work to do despite coming in off a hot run.
