LPL 2023: Match 4, DA vs JK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s LPL match between Dambulla Aura and Jaffna Kings?

Despite batting really well, Dambulla Aura (DA) lost their last match at the hands of Galle Gladiators in the Super Over.

When it comes to Jaffna, the Thisara Perera-led side won their first game, defeating Colombo Strikers by 21 runs. Bangladesh international Towhid Hridoy was exceptional in the middle, scoring 54 runs off 39 deliveries. Local players in the form of Priyalal Perera and Dunith Wellalage chipped in well while Hardus Viljoen was incredible with the ball. Hence, the team will be confident of their chances.

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Rahmanullah Gurbaz  – Jaffna Kings

Afghanistan international Rahmanullah Gurbaz is known for his stroke-making in the middle. In the last match, the opener managed to get a perfect start but eventually failed to convert it. He will be aiming to get better in the upcoming match and hence, can prove to be dangerous for Dambulla.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

Hardus Viljoen – Jaffna Kings

34-year-old Hardus Viljoen picked up three wickets in the last match and has been a force to reckon with. Even though the surface was made for the spinners to succeed but the pacer was sensational and will be hoping to continue in the same fashion.
