Dambulla Giants Batters 2022
Dambulla Giants have a good blend of players with different batting styles. Their major batting guns include Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Haider Ali and D’Arcy Short. All 3 of them have played plenty of T20 cricket worldwide, and especially with Rajapaksa’s recent form, he will be the key for Dambulla in this event.
David Warner is equally dangerous at the top of the order and has been in top batting form of late. Haider Ali has yet to play up to his potential, but he can dismantle any opposition with his batting style at the top.
Tim Seifert, Sacha de Alwis and Lasith Croospulle are the other choices with the bat in this lineup. Seifert has a phenomenal T20 record with over 3000 runs, while Sacha and Croospulle are good potential talents.

Dambulla Giants All-Rounders 2022
Dambulla Giants have a massive arsenal of all-rounders. Starting with their Captains, Dasun Shanaka and Ben Cutting, both have vast experience in T20 cricket and are similar too. Their batting is their main strength, while, at times, they can be very useful with the ball too.
Ramesh Mendis and Chaturanga De Silva are two senior spin-bowling all-rounders in this lineup. Both have a fairly good record with the bat and are excellent with the ball. Dambulla Giants’ other spin bowling all-rounders include Tharindu Ratnayake, SachithaJayatilake, Ravindu Fernando and DushanHemantha. None of them can be termed raw. They are well-groomed and talented all-rounders.

Dambulla Giants have got a very solid pace attack. They have the speedster Nuwan Pradeep alongside young Pramod Madushan and seasoned West Indian star, Sheldon Cottrell. While Cotrell can sometimes be slippery, this pace attack is still very suited for a T20 side.
Kalana Perera is another excellent pacer of Dambulla Giants in this squad. Perera has 25 wickets in 24 games with an economy rate of under 7.

Closing in on 200 T20 wickets, Sandeep Lamichanne is a vastly experienced T20 campaigner, and he will be the lead spinner of Dambulla Giants.
