CK vs KT Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Lanka Premier League Match - Nov 26th, 2020

Colombo Kings take on Kandy Tuskers in the season opener of the Lanka Premier League at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Thursday.

The Colombo Kings are the early favourites to go all the way in the Lanka Premier League, with the likes of Andre Russell and Laurie Evans set to don their jersey. Apart from their overseas stars, there is no dearth of quality in their local contingent, with Dinesh Chandimal and Isuru Udana holding the fort for them.

Their opponents, Kandy Tuskers, aren't too far behind as they have their Sri Lankan stars Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera leading the way at the top of their order. Like the Kings, the Tuskers also have a lot of talent in their overseas ranks, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz one to watch out for in the Lanka Premier League.

With a well-balanced side, the Tuskers will fancy their chances of a win although they could be in for a tough time against Andre Russell and co. Nevertheless, both teams will be raring to take the field in what should be a great start to the Lanka Premier League in Hambantota.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Hambantota in the Lanka Premier League should be a good one to bat on, as there could be some swing on offer for the bowlers. Nevertheless, the batsmen should be able to play their natural games from ball one, and the spinners are not expected to get much turn. Wickets in hand could be key for both sides, with scores of 160-170 fairly common at this venue. Both teams will look to chase in this Lanka Premier League game, as dew could play a part later on in the game.
