Sri Lankan Lions

The Sri Lankan Lions thrived under pressure in the Eliminator against the Indian Royals, securing a 26-run victory in a high-scoring contest. With momentum on their side, they will aim to deliver another strong performance against a formidable Indian Royals team. Skipper Perera will demand an improved showing from his bowlers, who struggled in the previous match.

Tillakaratne Dilshan and Leo Fransisco failed to make an impact in the last game, and the team will count on them for a solid start. Mevan Fernando impressed with the bat and will look to contribute in the middle order alongside Lasith Lakshan and Thisara Perera, whose explosive innings proved decisive. Vikum Sanjaya and Raveen Sayer will aim to add quick runs in the lower middle order.

Malinda Pushpakumara and Vikum Sanjaya must strike early, as the Indian Royals are expected to come out aggressively. Upul Indrasiri and Tillakaratne Dilshan struggled with their line and length in the previous outing, and the team will hope for an improved effort from them. Lahiru Gamage and Thisara Perera will need to step up in their supporting roles.

Indian Royals

The Indian Royals had a disappointing performance in the 1st Qualifier against the Asian Stars, suffering a 4-wicket defeat despite their earlier dominance. They will aim for a strong comeback and draw confidence from their previous victory over the Asian Stars. A solid batting display will be crucial for their success in this game.
