Both Kandy Falcons (KFL) and Dambulla Sixers (DS) cannot afford to drop a point when they face each other at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, on Monday, July 15. The Falcons lost their previous game to league leaders Jaffna Kings, in which, they failed to defend 78 runs in seven overs. They have amassed only four points so far, the same as Dambulla but the latter have more games left.
The Mohammad Nabi-led side defeated Galle Marvels in their previous match. Chamindu Wickramasinghe looked in good touch as his half-century secured a 25-run victory for the team. They would hope to keep up with the momentum and get the job done and qualify for the playoffs.
