Kandy Falcons To Win The Match
Kandy Falcons to beat Colombo Strikers and win the match at odds of 1.80 (bet365)
Before their first match against Colombo Strikers, the Kandy Falcons took down the Dambulla Sixers in an incredible fashion. They won the match by 6 wickets with 16 balls remaining. Despite Mark Chapman scoring over 90 runs and forming a dominating partnership with Chamindu Wickramasinghe who scored more than 60 runs, the consistent run rate from the middle order helped the Falcons recover in the second innings. Dinesh Chandimal kicked things off strong with 65 runs and later Angelo Mathews and Dasun Shanaka followed up with 37 and 46 runs each.
Shanaka also displayed his amazing proficiency while bowling in the first innings. He single-handedly took 3 wickets himself. Even against Colombo Strikers in their first match, he had a solid economy while Kasun Rajitha and Wanindu Hasaranga bowled with immense proficiency. Their contributions managed to keep the target under 200 runs. If they can maintain that consistency for their next game and have the top-order batsman step up, Kandy Falcons will be able to avenge themselves and steal two points without any trouble.
With such potential from the batsmen and recent scores from bowlers, it is hard to deny Kandy Falcons chances of winning the game. This improves our odds while reducing the risk factors involved.
Dinesh Chandimal To Be Top Batter
Dinesh Chandimal to be the top batter for Kandy Falcons at odds of 4.00 (bet365)
Looking back at the two matches Kandy Falcons have already played, we can see that Dinesh Chandimal’s performance as an opener has been critical. As a top-order batter, Chandimal has to ease his team into a comfortable spot as the match warms up. A slow and consistent run rate allows the rest of the batters to step in and play without pressure. Dinesh Chandimal has carried this responsibility flawlessly. His first match against the Dambulla Sixers had him score 65 runs from 40 balls. He managed to hit six fours and three sixes. He displayed incredible patience and a smart eye for spotting chances to hit boundaries.
Even in their first match against the Colombo Strikers, Chandimal had an immense impact. He almost scored 40 runs from 26 balls. He scored eight fours that match, showing a knack for finding chances to hit hard. Due to a lack of urgency and strong tactical bowling from the Colombo Strikers, the middle order for the team collapsed which led to their loss. However, no one can deny how incredibly skilled Dinesh Chandimal is as a batter because of his recent performance.
After combining these bets, we form an accumulator with odds of 6.50 in bet365. Make sure you check out other deals in the open market before you make a choice. It is wise to go through every option you find before settling for the deal you feel the best about.
Colombo Strikers To Win The Match

We already know that the Colombo Strikers have beaten the Kandy Falcons in their first game. Smart batting from Sadeera Samarawickrama and Thisara Perera enabled the team to set a high target for their opposition to chase. This played along perfectly with their bowlers exploiting the weakened middle order of the Kandy Falcons in the second innings. Dunith Wellalage snatched four wickets while Shadab Khan got four of his own. The squad’s synergy and tactical understanding allowed for such a dominant showing.
The Colombo Strikers later lost to Galle Marvels, however, their bowling was still immaculately spectacular. This time alongside Shadab Khan, who took four wickets again, Binura Fernando rose to the occasion with three of his own. The team did struggle in the second over trying to counter the off-break fast bowlers which ultimately failed, losing them the match. Regardless of the score, their recent record against the Kandy Falcons and massive impact from bowlers give them an advantage heading into the game.
After considering these stats and looking at the potential of the bowlers, there is a decent chance Colombo Strikers win two for two against the Kand Falcons. This makes our bet a great option to go for with great payouts.
Colombo Strikers To Have Most Run-Outs

We did mention the impressive bowling abilities of the Colombo Strikers just earlier. Players like Shadab Khan and Dunith Wellalage have been playing incredibly well in the last two games. Shadab Khan alone has taken eight wickets in the last two games, making him a dangerous man for the Kandy Falcons. Matheesha Pathirana and Binura Fernando have been agile on the pitch as well, making the bowling line-up for the squad quite deadly.
Besides that, the team has a strong sense of strategic placement on the field. During their recent games, we’ve seen the Colombo Strikers handle long shots with great skill, disabling the batters from taking more than 2 runs. The bowlers also apply pressure on them, forcing hard-hitting shots that end up near the fielders. Such a consistent display allows the team to have a high number of chances to take wickets while running. This has been evident in their match against Galle Marvels
After combining the bets above, we get an accumulator bet with odds of 6.50 in bet365. Be sure you check out other options in your market as there are numerous other deals similar to this. Pick the one you feel the best about after taking a look at as many deals as you can find in the open market.
