Captain and vice-captain:
S Patel is the star player for Dambulla so far in this tournament. He has made 129 runs in 3 games including a fifty and has scored a minimum of 30 runs in each innings. At the same time, he has been brilliant with the ball and has claimed 4 wickets in 3 games.
B Taylor has played 2 games and made big impact in both of them. He made 51* in his first game against Gladiators and then made another score of 46 runs in the last game against Stallions. He is in prime form and expect him to pile up more runs in this game
D Shanaka has been highly consistent for his team and has made vital runs in all 3 games. He has scored 164 runs in 3 games and has made 2 fifties. He scored 56 runs in his last match against the Colombo Kings.
A Gunaratne was effective with his all-round performances in the last match. He claimed 2 wickets for 20 runs in 3 overs and then in batting made a fantastic knock of 31 runs from just 24 balls. Expect him to be a big factor in this game.
Dambulla is plagued with the failure of the top-order while Kandy will look to expose this weak link. So in the DV vs KT Dream11 today match prediction, expect KT to win the game.
