Lanka Premier League 2022, Match 2, Colombo Stars vs Kandy Falcons: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Colombo Stars and Kandy Falcons are set to lock horns on Tuesday, December 6 in Match 2 of Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2022 at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota.

The Stars, led by Angelo Mathews, are one of the dark horses of the tournament. They don't have the big names in their ranks, but possess the firepower to take down the best of teams. They made their way through to the Eliminator last time before losing to Dambulla Giants.

Niroshan Dickwella, Angelo Mathews and Charith Asalanka need to fire for the Stars. Benny Howell and Ravi Bopara are two of the most effective all-rounders in the world. Naveen-ul-Haq and Kasun Rajitha form a potent bowling attack.

The Falcons are captained by Wanindu Hasaranga, who made a move from the Jaffna franchise after the first two seasons. Hasaranga is expected to play a key role, both with bat and ball, if the Falcons want to go keep into the tournament.

Najibullah Zadran and Andre Fletcher can hit the ball a long distance. Fabian Allen and Carlos Braithwaite are more-than-effective all-rounders.

Fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana have also made a name for himself over the last few months. Hacing played for Sri Lanka U19 and Chennai Super Kings, the speedster has come up the ranks.
