Dambulla Aura (DA) will lock horns with Colombo Strikers (CS) in the 16th match of the Lanka Premier League 2023 at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on August 12. Dambulla Aura have played five matches where they have won three matches and are in the second position. Colombo Strikers, on the other hand, have played five matches where they have won two matches and are fourth in the rankings.

Dambulla Aura had played against Jaffna Kings in their last match where Jaffna Kings won the toss and elected to bowl. Dambulla had a horrible start losing both their openers on ducks each. That is when Samarawickrama and Perera joined hands to stitch together a good partnership and helped their team out of the deep waters. They managed to put up a decent total of 134 runs at the loss of eight wickets. This would not have been too challenging a total for the Kings but they lost four wickets early on which pushed them back in the game and could actually never recover from it. Kings lost the match by a close call of nine runs.

Colombo Strikers had played against Jaffna Kings in their last match where Colombo Strikers won the toss and elected to bat. Strikers started off really well with both their openers looking to be in great touch. However, the middle order had a mini-collapse which stopped the run flow and by the end of the innings, they could only score 146 runs. Kings had a similar start as their counterparts but the difference lay with the continuation of the start they got. Kings did not lose track in between and won the match comfortably by six wickets with 33 balls to spare.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Dhananjaya de Silva DS | ALL

Dhananjaya has been doing a pretty good job on all three fronts and could probably be the best option to lead your team. He has amassed 129 runs and five wickets in six matches so far.

9
C

Babar Azam CS | BAT

Azam is the highest run-scorer of the tournament and holds the position by quite some margin. He has slammed 235 runs in five matches and is an excellent choice for captaincy roles.

9

Naseem Shah CS | BOWL

Shah has not just been scalping wickets but has not been leaking away any extra runs as well. He has picked up eight wickets in five matches with an economy of 6.92.

7.5

Avishka Fernando DS | BAT

Fernando has looked in good touch and has scored 167 runs at a strike rate of 123.7 in six matches where he has slammed two half-centuries already. He is a must-have pick for your team.

8.5

Hayden Kerr DS | ALL

Kerr could be a handy pick for the fantasy team due to his ability to contribute with the bat and ball. He has mustered 58 runs and five wickets in six matches.

8.5

Matheesha Pathirana CS | BOWL

Pathirana has been standing tall with Naseem and has been taking wickets in tandem with him. He has also picked up eight wickets in these five matches and must find a place in your team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

7

Ramesh Mendis

CS | ALL

Ramesh has been able to scalp just one wicket having played all five matches so far. He can be dropped from your team.

8.5

Mohammad Nawaz

CS | ALL

Nawaz has failed to impress either with the bat or ball in matches so far. He can be left out of your fantasy side.
