Superb opening partnership from Jaffna which took the game away from Dambulla. Excellent 100 from Avishka, even better innings from Chamika Karunaratne when the chips were down. It was that innings alone which kept the losing margin to 23 runs.
I am not into making predictions but I am going with Galle to win the final simply because I think they deserve to win on overall performance during the tournament. They have been steady with performance, tactics and team balance. On the other hand, Jaffna have some big names who can turn round the match on their own. Hope it will be an interesting match.
One thing I`ve noticed with Chamika and Hasranga is both usually take some time to get into groove, especially the former. I really feel like one of them at least should try out opening or something
