Preview :

The fourth match of the Lanka Premier League (LPL 2024) is all set to see the Jaffna Kings facing the Dambulla Sixers in the thrilling battle. The game is slated to take place on July 3rd at 3:00 PM IST at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka. Notably, the Dambulla Sixers lost their opening game of the campaign against the Kandy Falcons; however, they will be looking to get their first win in their upcoming game.

On the other hand, star cricketer Charith Asalanka’s leadership and technical talents will be crucial to the team of the Jaffna Kings. The side will be looking to hand over a second loss to the Dambulla Sixers in the upcoming game.


Dambulla Sixers lost their opening game against Kandy Falcons purely because of their pathetic display of bowling. They bowled without a plan and were all over the place during the 13th-18th overs where they conceded 72 runs. Earlier in the game they got themselves into trouble losing 4 wickets for just 25 runs and later a rescue act from Mark Chapman (91*) and Chamindu Wickramasinghe (62*) got them back into the game with the duo stitching an unbeaten 154-run stand for the 5th wicket that helped them to post a competitive target of 180. They need to realize their mistakes quickly and move on from the loss.

Jaffna Kings strived hard in their first game against Galle Marvels but failed to defend 9 runs in the final over that led to their 5 wickets loss. The game took a lot of twists and turns in the second half but the Kings weren’t able to hold their nerves under pressure. Asitha Fernando who bowled the final over of the match could have opted for a better strategy on the last delivery which he got scooped over the short fine. Mistakes apart, there were few positives in the game with Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando scoring half-centuries each while skipper Charith Asalanka flexed his muscles for 33 runs at a strike rate of 220. Fabian Allen did well in his full quota of 4 overs, picking up 2 wickets at an economy of 8.25.
Both sides have lost their opening games despite doing well and now will be keen to collect their first points on the table.
