Galle Gladiators

Opening batter Niroshan Dickwella put on superb start for Galle Marvels against Colombo Strikers on Wednesday. He scored 50 off only 18 balls. The wicketkeeper-batter is also the Marvels' captain.
Isuru Udana offers his skipper the variety of being a skilled bowler, while also capable of late cameos down the batting order. The all-rounder produced a match-winning performance against the Colombo Strikers with 52 off 34 and two for 34 in four overs.
Galle Marvels have started their campaign just as they'd wanted to. They have won two from two in their opening two games putting them top of the table after two rounds of fixtures.

B-Love Kandy have been inconsistent in their opening two games. They have produced one win and one loss after two matches. They will hope a win against Galle Marvels kickstarts winning momentum.
Kasun Rajitha has played for the Sri Lankan national team in Tests, ODIs and T20Is. In T20Is he has 17 wickets with a career-best of three for 29 versus India. He will swing the new ball and generate pace consistently.
Dinesh Chandimal has scores of 65 and 38 in his opening two games. He has a steady batting average of just over 30 in his overall T20 career. This improves toa batting average over 35 in the LPL.
Wanindu Hasaranga has moved up the batting order into the middle-order positions. This adds another strong to his already impressive bow of leg-spin bowling. He was Sri Lanka's second-highest wicket-taker at the T20 World Cup in 2024 with six wickets in three games.
