KT vs DV Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's LPL Match - Nov 28th, 2020

Match 3 of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) features the Kandy Tuskers taking on Dambulla Viiking at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Saturday.

The Kandy Tuskers played out a classic against the Colombo Kings in their LPL opener but were a touch unfortunate to come out second best in a super over. Despite Aghan youngster Rahmanullah Gurbaz setting the stage alight with some attractive stroke-play, the Kandy Tuskers bowlers weren't up to the mark, which eventually had an effect on the outcome of the LPL match.

However, the Tuskers will be itching to take the field against Dambulla Viiking, a team that boasts of some experienced campaigners in Paul Stirling and Upul Tharanga. Like their opponents, the Damulla Viiking also have a touch of Afghan class in Aftab Alam, who is a decent exponent of the yorker.

Overall, both LPL teams look well-matched on paper although one could fancy the Tuskers' chances given their power-packed batting unit. Nevertheless, another high-scoring thriller beckons in Hambantota, with both teams eyeing their first win of the LPL season on Saturday.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in the LPL is an absolute belter, with little help expected to be on offer for the bowlers. With no movement available off the surface, the bowlers will have to vary their pace and line and lengths in order to extract something off the surface.

With this LPL game being an afternoon fixture, both teams would ideally want to bat first and make good use of the conditions upfront. 200 runs could be a bare minimum total at this venue, as both teams are capable of breaching the par score with ease.
