Colombo Strikers and Kandy Falcons will be meeting each other in the Eliminator of the ongoing Lanka Premier League on Thursday at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. This match is very significant for both teams as it will determine which team advances to the next stage of the playoffs and which team's season comes to an end.

Colombo Strikers largely have had a good season so far, winning four and losing as many games out of their eight matches. Despite some hiccups, their star power and ability to perform under pressure make them a formidable opponent.

On the other hand, Kandy Falcons have also had their share of ups and downs. They have suffered five defeats out of their eight games. They have only enjoyed three victories, enough to put them into the Eliminator. It will be a must-win battle for both teams to advance further into the tournament. 

The Eliminator promises to be an exciting and closely contested match, with both teams eager to keep their title hopes alive. Falcons are in rhythm, having won their last game. Strikers, meanwhile will enter the game on the back of a defeat. 

Colombo Strikers probable XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Angelo Perera, Muhammad Waseem, Glenn Phillips, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Thisara Perera (c), Shadab Khan, Dunith Wellalage, Isitha Wijesundera, Binura Fernando, Matheesha Pathirana

Kandy Falcons probable XI: Andre Fletcher, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Mohammad Haris, Kamindu Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Chaturanga de Silva, Ramesh Mendis, Chamath Gomez, Mohammad Hasnain
