By Match 5 of the Lanka Premier League has the Dambulla Viiking taking on the Jaffna Stallions at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Monday.
The Viiking came up trumps in their first game of the tournament, which was a rain-marred contest against the Tuskers. Riding on the fortunes of Dasun Shanaka and Samir Patel, the Viiking were able to post a big score against the Tuskers. But they will have to come up with a better performance against the Stallions, who also won their first game of the season.
Both teams look well-matched on paper, although one might fancy the Stallions’ chances ahead of this game. With two valuable points up for grabs, another entertaining game beckons on Monday in the Lanka Premier League.

Pitch Report
A fresh wicket could be on offer, paving the way for a high-scoring game between Jaffna and Dambulla. The pacers should get extra swing and bounce, but the ball should come on to the bat fairly well. 200 should be a very competitive total at this venue, with both side likely to bat first and look to make good use of the conditions upfront.
