The 20th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League will witness the face-off between Dambulla Sixers and Colombo Strikers on Tuesday at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. This is the last league match of the tournament and a must-win for Dambulla Sixers who are placed at the bottom in the points table. 

Colombo Strikers, having qualified for the playoffs, are placed on third place in the points table with four wins from their past seven games. Dambulla Sixers are still alive in the tournament as they need to secure their victory in this match by hook or crook. 

There are also likely chances that both teams could see each other in the Eliminator of the tournament. Dambulla Sixers lost their last game against Kandy Falcons by 54 runs in a massive loss. To bounce back strongly, Dambulla Sixers will need to record a big victory. 

Head to Head

Both teams have played ten matches against each other. Dambulla Sixers have won seven while Colombo Strikers have only been able to win three games. 

Dambulla Sixers probable XI: Reeza Hendricks, Kusal Perera (wk), Lahiru Udara, Ibrahim Zadran, Mark Chapman, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mohammad Nabi (c), Sonal Dinusha, Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Nuwan Thushara
