The SLC Skyexch T20 League will be back after two days with matches fifth and sixth on August 13th. Let’s look at all the details about the upcoming matches scheduled for 13th August 2022.
Match 5: SLC Greys vs SLC Greens:
In the fifth match of the SLC Invitational League, the two bottom teams would go head-to-head. SLC Greens, with two points in two matches, sit in third place while SLC Grey, with zero points in two matches, sits at the bottom of the table.
The SLC Greens team lost the first match by 32 runs but came back strong in the second to win it by eight runs. Wicket-keeper batter Niroshan Dickwella came up with a sensational 76 in just 56 deliveries to lead the Greens side to their first win. Other batters would need to step up in case Dickwella fails to deliver.
The SLC Greys team have lost both of the matches so far. In both matches, they haven’t managed to score above 120 which seems to be the reason for their loss. Bowling has been decent but the Ashan Priyanjan-led team has failed to put runs on the board.
Probable XI:
SLC Greys Probable XI: Ashan Randika, Thanuka Dabare, Sangeeth Cooray, Ashan Priyanjan (c), Minod Bhanuka, Muditha Lakshan, Movin Subasingha, Pulina Tharanga, Lakshan Gamage, Akila Danajaya, Milan Rathnayake

Match 6: SLC Blues vs SLC Reds
In the sixth match of the SLC Skyexch T20 League, the first and second-placed teams go head-to-head. SLC Blues, with two wins in their two matches, are fourth, while SLC Reds, with one win in two matches, are second.
The SLC Blues won both of their matches on the back of great bowling as they were able to restrict the opposition team at just 90/10 and 115/9. The Charith Asalanka-led side will look to continue their great form.
The Reds won their first match but lost the second in a closely contested affair. The Kusal Mendis-led side would look to improve in both departments to come up with a win over the top team.

R Premadasa offers a batting pitch but also has something for the spinners. Weather reports suggest light rain and given the pitch, the team winning the toss would be looking to bowl first. The average temperature is expected to hover around 29 degrees Celsius.
