Dambulla Falcons will be facing off against Kandy Falcons in the 6th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League (2026) on Tuesday at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla. Having played two games so far in the tournament, Dambulla Sixers have had a mixed start, winning one and losing another.

The upcoming clash will be the second meeting between both sides in the ongoing edition of the tournament. Both sides met in their opening match of the league, with Dambulla Sixers claiming an 18-run win. However, Sixers failed to maintain the momentum in their next clash against Jaffna Kings, falling to a five-wicket defeat. 

Kandy Falcons, on the other hand, are yet to win a match, having suffered defeats in their last two games. Going into this game, they would hope for an improved performance to open their victory account and challenge Dambulla Sixers.
