CLS vs GGD Team Previews

Colombo Stars

The Colombo Stars have a strong set of Sri Lanka batsmen that did very well in the Lanka Premier League in its previous edition. Dinesh Chandimal was the star of the tournament and he will be in focus once more alongside Angelo Matthews, Pathum Nissanka, Dhanajaya de Silva, and Kusal Perera.

Add to them, the likes of Chris Gayle, Tom Banton, and Sherfane Rutherford, and we think you have possibly the strongest batting lineup of the Lanka Premier League 2021-22 edition.

Ravi Rampaul and Naveen ul Haq have been picked as overseas seamers. These are not bad choices for a league that is starved of quality fast-bowling talent. Lakshan Sandakan, Seekkuge Prasanna, and Akila Dananjaya offer excellent spin-bowling options in the squad and we think that will b crucial as the LPL progresses.

The Stars are a very strong team indeed.

Colombo Stars Playing 11

Pathum Nissanka, Tom Banton, Dinesh Chandimal, Sherfane Rutherford, Dhananjaya de Silva, S Prasanna, D Wiese, PVD Chameera, Naveen-ul-Haq, Akila Dananjaya, Kusal Perera.


Galle Gladiators

Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Samit Patel rescued the batting effort for the Galle Gladiators in their previous match. The fact that the top-order failed to score runs on what is a very flat track would be a bit concerning. Gunathilaka, Mendis, Dunk, and Hafeez are not very convincing as a unit and we think the Galle Gladiators could struggle to get big scores consistently.

Isuru Udana and Samit Patel are going to be the lead bowlers for the Galle Gladiators, Once again, we find the depth of the team a bit lacking and if the frontline bowlers do not pick up early wickets, containing the opposition is going to be very difficult.

Galle Gladiators Playing 11

Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk, SR Patel, Lahiru Madushanka, Isuru Udana, Pulina Tharanga, Noor Ahmad, Nuwan Thushara, Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions for this match are expected to be quite good. There is some rain around but hopefully, it will not cause any interruptions. The pitch in Colombo is very good and we think the batsmen are going to dominate once more. There is nothing for the bowlers to work with and the ball just seems to ease on to the bat. A score of around 170 is par for this venue.

CLS vs GGD Betting Tips

We are going to bet on the Colombo Stars to win this match. They certainly have a stronger batting lineup and their bowling attack is quite decent too. Age has been stated as a concern for the Stars since a lot of their players are nearing the end of their careers but we don't see that being a problem at all.

Bet on the Colombo tars to win.
