CS vs DG LPL 2021 Match Preview:
Colombo Stars will lock horns with Dambulla Giants in the 6th match of the Lanka Premier League 2021, at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Wednesday.
The Stars, led by Dhananjaya de Silva, have made a thunderous start to their campaign in the ongoing tournament. On Monday, December 6, they defeated the Galle Gladiators by four wickets. After being put in to field first, the Stars’ bowlers restricted the Gladiators to 116.
The Stars lost six wickets in their run-chase but got over the line with 15 balls to spare. Dinesh Chandimal, De Silva, and David Wiese scored 20s to take the Stars home. The win made sure the Stars racked up a decent net run rate of 0.886 after their first game.
The Giants, led by Dasun Shanaka, started their campaign with a thumping 20-run win over the Kandy Warriors. However, an eight-wicket loss at the hands of the Jaffna Kings pushed them down to fourth in the points table with a poor net run rate of -1.238.
After batting first, the Giants scored a mere 110 in 19.3 overs. Nuwanidu Fernando top-scored for them with 23. The run-chase turned out to be a walk in the park for the Kings, who tracked down the target in 12.3 overs. Imran Tahir and Nuwan Pradeep got one wicket apiece, but it wasn’t enough.
