Lanka Premier League 2021, Kandy Warriors vs Colombo Stars: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast, pitch report and live streaming details

In the 15th match of the Lanka Premier League 2021, Kandy Warriors will lock horns against Colombo Stars at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday.

Kandy Warriors are struggling in the competition. They have managed only a single game in five games, and are languishing at the bottom of the points table. They suffered a heavy loss against Jaffna Kings in their previous game. In a rain-curtailed fixture, the Warriors scored 94 in 12.2 overs before rain arrived.

The game was reduced to ten overs per side, and the Kings were set a target of 95. The Warriors bowlers failed to pick up wickets at regular intervals as the Kings chased down the total with eight deliveries to spare. The Warriors have failed to fire in unison, and will need to be at their absolute best against the Colombo Stars.

Colombo Stars, meanwhile, are fourth in the points table with four points to their name. They have won two of their five games, and need to gain some momentum. They beat Galle Gladiators in their last outing. Batting first, the Stars posted 162 runs on the board in the 18-overs per side contest.

Their bowlers then stepped up, and backed up their batters to knock over the Gladiators for 121. It was a convincing victory for the Stars, and they will look to keep performing the same way.
