CLS vs GGD Team Previews
Colombo Stars
The Colombo Strikers have had a mixed campaign until now. A win here would keep their hopes alive of getting further and potentially challenging for the title from almost nowhere.
Angelo Perera has reached the international level on six occasions with six ODI and six T20I caps. In his T20 career he is not short of milestones, having hit the 50-run mark in eight games.
Colombo's two-run win against Kandy is their smallest margin of victory in terms of runs in T20s. They achieved the win off the back of Matheesha Pathirana's player-of-the-match four for 26.
Another member of that victorious Colombo Strikers side was Glenn Phillips. As a specialist in the middle-order, he will either power the Strikers to what may be a deefendable total or he'll hold his composure in a run chase. His 70 off 43 against Kandy Falcons was the highest score of the game.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Angelo Perera, Mohammad Waseem, Glenn Phillips, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Thisara Perera, Shadab Khan, Dunith Wellalage, Ishitha Wijesundera, Binura Fernando, Matheesha Pathirana.

Prabath Jayasuriya has made his name known in Tests for Sri Lanka, but don’t look past his efforts in T20 cricket. He took three wickets against Kandy Falcons and earned himself the player-of-the-match.
Alex Hales is one of the most prolific T20 match-winners at the top of the batting order. He showed his class with 86 not out against Kandy Falcons.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa is an explosive middle-order batter. The left-handed batter hit 46 off 26 not out against Kandy Falcons to provide support in a vital third-wicket partnership with Alex Hales. Galle Marvels won the game by eight wickets.
