KW vs JK Dream11 Prediction, Lanka Premier League 2021, Match 7: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Team, Weather Updates and Pitch Report
Preview for KW vs JK Dream11 Contest:
After five games in the tournament, Kandy Warriors remain the only side to not register a win. They have struggled to find a winning combination in both the games, and have played pretty underwhelming cricket that led to their downfall. They will be up against the defending champions Jaffna Kings, who got off to a poor start having lost the opening game by a heavy margin, but they got back on the road to redemption almost immediately.
Probable Playing XI
Kandy Warriors
Kennar Lewis (wk), Ahmed Shehzad, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Perera (c), Kamindu Mendis, Rovman Powell, Ishan Jayaratne, TM Sampath, Sachindu Colombage, Lahiru Kumara, Al-Amin Hossain
Jaffna Kings
Upul Tharanga, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Avishka Fernando, Shoaib Malik, Thisara Perera (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chaturanga de Silva, Suranga Lakmal, Maheesh Theekshana, Jayden Seales

Pitch Report
The track in Colombo has been getting slower with every passing game, and teams chasing are starting to feel the advantage. The last three games were won by teams chasing, and the scores registered in these games have been well under the average T20I score on this ground.
KW vs JK Dream11 Prediction
Jaffna Kings, despite losing the opening game quite badly, have great individual talent in their dressing room. For fantasy managers, the suggestion would be to target more players from their lineup than the Warriors, as it could potentially be the decisive decision.
KW vs JK Dream11 Captaincy Picks
Wanindu Hasaranga: The player of the tournament in the recently concluded T10 League in Abu Dhabi, and Sri Lanka’s most prized possession in T20 cricket right now, Hasaranga is an undisputed choice for captaincy in small leagues.
Maheesh Theekshana: Theekshana is off to a very impressive start with the ball in the tournament, and has picked up 4 wickets in 2 games. Considering a fact that he understands the conditions well, he can be handed the vice-captaincy role.
Rovman Powell: Once Powell gets going, he is more than capable of churning a lot of runs for the side. Less than 3% of fantasy users went for him as captain, which can work in your favor in mega leagues, if you hand him that role.
KW vs JK Dream11 Budget Picks
Jayden Seales: The West Indian medium pacer has been in top form in the first couple of games, and has already picked up 5 wickets. Considering the returns, 8.5 credits is an absolute bargain.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: The Afghan youngster scores at a strike-rate nearly 150 after 55 games in his T20 career, which is a testament to his ability. He can be in your team for a mere 8.5 credit points.
Sachindu Colombage: Another young Lankan spinner in the making, Sachindu Colombage has picked up 4 wickets in 2 games thus far and has been a major threat for the batters who faced him. He costs 8.5 credits.
