Elo's take
Too close for a rigorous call; the model leans Kandy Falcons (57% on the favored side). Ball-by-ball simulations project Colombo Strikers around 178 (likely range 111 to 225) and Kandy Falcons around 162 (111 to 200) batting first. Key matchup: B Fernando has removed MD Shanaka 2 times in 18 balls while conceding 35 (SR 194). Form: Colombo Strikers won 2 of their last 5; Kandy Falcons won 2 of their last 5. NLTC Perera leads the fantasy board (projected 84 points, ceiling 167). Differential watch: DN Wellalage carries a 61% shot at a 50+ point game.
