Top Pick β Wicketkeeper
Andre Fletcherβs short stay at the crease against Jaffna Kings was a huge blow for Kandy Falcons. He still maintains the 2nd spot in the top run-scorers list with 266 runs in 8 matches.

Watch out for Fabian Allen who is a big game player. West Indian all-rounder has picked up 10 wickets in 8 matches in this tournament at an economy of 5.66 and scored 66 runs in 5 innings.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Kandy Falcons will get one more opportunity to make it to the finals as they lost to Jaffna Kings by 24 runs (D/L method) in Qualifier 1 where the match was interrupted due to rain. Batting first they managed to put up 143 runs with useful contributions from Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Najibullah Zadran. 15 runs more would have made a difference. They leaked runs early on the innings which cost the game as the opposition was ahead of 24 runs as per D/L method calculations at the end of 11 overs.
Colombo Stars had the better off Galle Gladiators by 7 wickets in the Eliminator where the match was reduced to 18 overs. Bowlers exploited the conditions and picked wickets at regular intervals with overseas star Benny Howell among the wickets bagging 3 scalps. Ravi Bopara played a timely knock to get his side home with 7 balls to spare. They just need to stick to their game plans which will give them better results.
