In the 10th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League on Sunday at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, Colombo Strikers will face Dambulla Sixers in what promises to be a crucial encounter for Dambulla Sixers. Colombo Strikers have had a solid start to their campaign, winning two out of their three matches. Their strong performance has been bolstered by their combined efforts.
