At the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, the Dambulla Giants will play the Colombo Stars. The fifth game of the 2022 Lanka Premier League begins on Thursday, December 8, at 15:30 local time.

Their 2022 LPL season got off to a rough start when they were soundly defeated by Jaffna Kings on Wednesday in Hambantota. Despite opening batsman Jordan Cox’s four sixes and three fours, Dambulla’s score of 121-9 was defeated with 4.2 overs left.

Andre Fletcher put on a batting clinic on Tuesday, and Angelo Mathews’ team will not need to much improve to achieve a better result than the 109-run loss they suffered against Kandy Falcons. The Colombo team has a ton of quality, so we anticipate a much better performance in this match.
