The 14th match of the Lanka Premier League will see Colombo Stars (CS) taking on Dambulla Aura (DG) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on December 14. With zero wins so far in the tournament, the Dasun Shanaka-led Dambulla Aura are currently under a lot of pressure and so are the Stars, who managed to win only one of their first four matches.
After a poor start to the season, both teams will be desperate to bag a victory and stay alive in the race. When these two sides met earlier in the season, Colombo Stars emerged victorious after a very close encounter and something similar will be expected this time around as well.

29-year-old Niroshan Dickwella has scored 125 runs from four matches so far in the tournament. The opener currently one among the leading run-scorers of the Lanka Premier League. He was absolutely phenomenal against Dambulla Aura in the previous match and will look to dominate the bowlers, again.
Probable best bowler: Lahiru Kumara
25-year-old Lahiru Kumara has been sensational in the tournament. In three matches so far, the pacer picked up six wickets at an economy rate of 10.81. Though his economy rate is high, he will be expected to provide his team with the crucial breakthroughs.
