Probable Best Performers from JK vs KF

Probable best batter: Andre Fletcher

Kandy Falcons’ wicketkeeper-batter has been in terrific form with the bat as he displayed t in the outing against Dambulla Aura. The opener blasted 44 runs from 31 balls at a strike rate of 141.94. He will look for the big runs against the Kings in the forthcoming match.

Probable best bowler: Wanindu Hasaranga

Hasaranga proved to be expensive in the match against Dambulla, but there’s no doubt about what the star spinner is capable of. The skipper has the potential to restrict the rival side from getting the massive runs on the board and has a knack of getting the major breakthroughs. He will aim to get back in from against Jaffna.
