Match 20 of the Lanka Premier League will see the Colombo Strikers go head-to-head against the Dambulla Sixers on July 16, 2024, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Both teams are entering the contest with starkly divergent recent form, particularly evident in their performances over their last three matches.

Currently positioned third with the most superior net run rate in this year's edition thus far (+0.914), they secured a resounding nine-wicket victory with 10 overs and a delivery to spare in their recent game. This came after their inability to defend the totals they set in a couple of games preceding their encounter with the Jaffna Kings.

Regarding DS, they suffered a nail-biting defeat against the Galle Marvels, which extended into a thrilling Super Over, following their partial recovery in their campaign with consecutive comprehensive victories.

Nevertheless, both teams will face the challenge of playing matches back-to-back, potentially impacting their fitness levels and player performances.
