JS vs KT Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Lanka Premier League Match - Dec 1st, 2020

Match 8 of the Lanka Premier League has the Kandy Tuskers taking on the Jaffna Stallions at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Tuesday.

The Tuskers have been rather poor this season despite the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Kusal Mendis firing at the top of the order. Their bowling has lacked conviction in this tournament, and they occupy a lowly 4th in the points table.

On the other hand, the Stallions are currently unbeaten with two wins in two games. Their captain Thisara Perera smashed a whirlwind knock in the previous game to set up a massive win against the Dambulla Viiking. They will be looking to keep their unbeaten run alive, although this won't be an easy task.

The Tuskers will fancy their chances of a win owing to the unpredictability of T20 cricket, but the balance in the Stallions side should hand them the edge ahead of this game.

Two points are up for grabs in Hambantota, with both sides eyeing a win to keep their chances of a playoff spot afloat in what promises to be a highly entertaining game of T20 cricket.

Pitch Report

A good batting track awaits the two sides, with the bowlers in for a tough test in Hambantota. There isn't much help on offer for the bowlers, with the batsmen expected to make good use of the dimensions of the ground. The bowlers will need to vary their pace and lengths to get something out of the surface.

With dew expected to play a part in the second innings, both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss. 180-190 should be a good total at this venue, although both teams are capable of breaching the par score with ease.
