League: Cricket
The fourth match of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024 is set to take place between Dambulla Sixers and Jaffna Kings. The contest will take place at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Dambulla faced Kandy Falcons in the tournament’s opener and faced a 6-wicket defeat. Similarly, Jaffna too lost against Galle Marvels by 5 wickets in their previous fixture. Both sides will now be focusing to open their account in the competition.
The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is known for high-scoring matches, as seen in the first three games of the current LPL edition. Batting first seems to be ideal here, given the pitch’s favorable conditions for batters.
