GGD vs JSK Team Previews
Galle Gladiators
Galle Marvels have a solid batting lineup with aggressive batters and a reliable middle order. They also have a couple of all-rounders who can contribute significantly with both bat and ball.
Maheesh Theekshana is a promising young Sri Lankan cricketer known for his exceptional spin bowling. He has taken four four-wicket hauls in T20s.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been an important figure in Sri Lankan T20Is. He has three T20I half-centuries for his nation.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman is a talented Afghan mystery spin bowler renowned for his exceptional variations and ability to trouble batters. The young spinner will form an effective bowling partnership with Theekshana.

Jaffna Kings
Jaffna Kings boast a formidable batting lineup with explosive hitters and experienced players. Their bowling unit is equally impressive, with a mix of pace and spin that can trouble any batting lineup.
Rilee Rossouw will be among a group of batters ready to show their firepower. The left-hander gained valuable experience in the 2024 IPL where he scored 211 runs coupled with a powerful strike rate over 180.
Asitha Fernando is one of the latest quality seamers to come through for Sri Lanka. The fast bowler will want to improve his T20 record, but has already impressed with best figures of six for eight.
Any all-rounder is a valuable asset to a T20 team. Not many players would fit that description better than Dhananjaya de Silva. He will be handy in the middle order, while also having the skill of bowling overs of spin when required.
Jaffna Kings Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Avishka Fernando, Rilee Rossouw, Alex Ross, Charith Asalanka, Azmatullah Omarzai, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Fabian Allen, Asitha Fernando, Pramod Madushan.
