DHG vs GGD Team Previews
Dambulla Giants
With their most recent victory over Colombo Strikers, the home team, Dambulla Sixers, is finally off to a good start in their campaign. The victory could prove to be a huge lift for their confidence after three consecutive losses before that.
Reeza Hendricks has looked quite the opposite of his poor run of form in the T20 World Cup. He combined with Kusal Perera to put on a 154-run partnership against Colombo Strikers to tarnish any hope the Strikers had of defending their score.
Mohammad Nabi was part of a spin combination with Dushan Hemantha which troubled Colombo Strikers. He has 353 T20 wickets with just over a quarter of these (96) coming on the international stage.
Kusal Perera will have enough experience behind him to know to kick up the scoring rate in the beginning of the innings. The wicketkeeper-batter has 328 runs in his last eight T20 matches averaging almost 55 and striking at almost 150. He will be brutal at the top of the order.
Dambulla Giants Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks, Kusal Perera, Lahiru Udara, Mark Chapman, Nuwanidu Fernando, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mohammad Nabi, Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Nuwan Thushara, Nuwan Pradeep.
Galle Gladiators
Galle Marvels' campaign has been fruitful so far. They are currently second on the table with their only loss coming against Jaffna Kings. They are also fresh off a victory against B-Love Kandy.
Mark Chapman has taken the aggressive approach in his campaign. He can adapt to various formats and situations, providing both stability and firepower to the middle order. His first season of LPL has started with a bang. He scored 91 not out in his opening game, but has managed scores of 33 not out, 30 and 23 not out since then.
Maheesh Theekshana's bowling prowess could limit the damage that Dambulla Sixers may want to cause. In his young career, he has taken four T20 four-wicket hauls.
Alex Hales, in partnership with Tim Seifert, did the bulk of the work against B-Love Kandy and gave the batters lower down the order room to flourish. He has six hundreds in his T20 career and a T20 career high score of 119.
Galle Gladiators Playing 11
Niroshan Dickwella, Alex Hales, Tim Seifert, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Janith Liyanage, Sahan Arachchige, Dwaine Pretorius, Isuru Udana, Kavindu Nadeeshan, Maheesh Theekshana, Zahoor Khan.

Pitch and Conditions
Expect hot weather in Dambulla, though slightly cooler than the previous game, with humid conditions.
The Dambulla pitch in night T20s tends to offer more assistance to batters early on, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely under lights. Only a score of 190 or more could be just about defendable at night, but won't necessarily guarantee victory.
