Jaffna Kings are all set to take on the Dambulla Aura in Match 8 of the Lanka Premier League 2022 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele.

Jaffna Kings are at the second position in the table with two wins in two games and are riding high on confidence. This will be an interesting fixture with both sides having some quality match winners in their lineup.

Probable Best Performers from JK vs DA 

Probable best batter: Dhananjaya de Silva 

Dhananjaya de Silva had a good outing against Galle Gladiators when he scored a quickfire 29 off 19 balls. The right-hander did not get to bat in the previous game as the openers did most of the work. The all-rounder has looked in good form with the bat since the T20 World Cup 2022 and he will be looking to make more of such impacts.  

Probable best bowler: Maheesh Theekshana 

Maheesh Theekshana has been the trump card in the bowling line-up for Jaffna Kings. The mystery spinner bowled a splendid spell in the previous game where he finished with 3 for 20 in his four overs. He has the ability to outsmart the batters with his pace and turn and will be looking to produce another good spell.
