Kandy Customs Sports Club head into their clash against Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club still searching for their first win of the Tier B T20 Tournament. They have lost all three of their matches so far, including a 22-run DLS defeat to Ragama Cricket Club in their most recent outing. Chasing 148, they were 88/5 after 12.3 overs when rain brought the game to an end.

Weather Conditions

The weather could be a factor in this match at the Salawa Army Ground on Sunday. Forecasts point towards cloudy conditions with a chance of rain during the morning, so there is some concern about interruptions around the 9:45 AM start. Temperatures should be around 24–31°C, with humid conditions expected.  

SEB vs KCCC Pitch Report

The Salawa Army Ground has generally produced competitive conditions for bowlers in recent matches. The surface can offer enough assistance to seamers and spinners, while batters are likely to need some time before playing freely. With this being a T20, getting through the early overs without losing wickets could be important, and the team that adapts quickest to the conditions should have the advantage. 

Toss: To Bowl

The toss could favour the side choosing to field first, especially with rain possible around the morning start. Chasing may be the safer option if the weather affects the conditions.
