Fantasy value from pitch report

• The bowlers might get a bit of help with the new ball on this pitch. Therefore, new ball bowlers could be rewarding choices for the fantasy contests. 
• As the ball gets a bit sort and old, the batters are able to play their shots and get the full value for it. Middle-order batters from the top half of both the batting line-ups could be crucial choices. 

DS vs GM Fantasy Cricket Tips

Dambulla Sixers Heavy Fantasy XI

• Reeza Hendricks has scored runs in both the matches that he has played so far. He is looking in good touch and will be a safer option for the fantasy contests of the match. 
• Kusal Perera and Mark Chapman have also been in good touch and could be rewarding options for the fantasy contests.
• Mustafizur Rahaman and Nuwan Pradeep could be the rewarding choices from the Dambulla bowling.

Galle Marvels Heavy Fantasy XI

• Tim Seifer is so far the highest run-scorer for the team. He has been in great touch for the last two games and will be a safe pick for the match.
• Alex Hales and Niroshan Dickwella looked in good touch and scored one half-century each in the tournament. However, they have been a bit inconsistent and, hence, will be riskier but rewarding options. 
• Zahoor Khan and Isuru Udan have been Galle's prime wicket-takers. On this track, these two bowling in the death will be the important picks.

DS vs GM Winner Prediction

While Galle Marvels have found the right team combination have the momentum going, the Sixers are struggling to find rhythm. The Galle Marvels will be the favourites to win this match. 

DS vs GM Top Player Picks

Reeza Hendricks has been in good form in the tournament [X]

Reeza Hendricks (DS)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 134 Runs in 2 Matches
• The South African opener has been in great touch in the two matches that he has played. Reeza Hendricks seems to be in good rhythm and will be a safe choice for the fantasy contests. 

Mustafizur Rahman (DS)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 5 Wickets in 4 matches
• The Bangladeshi left-arm pacer was taken to the cleaners in the last game. But Mustafizur Rahman has been amongst the wickets and that makes him a important choice for the fantasy contests. 

Tim Seifert (GM)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 208 Runs in 4 Matches
• The Kiwi keeper-batter did not have a great start to the tournament. However, in the last two games, Tim Seifert has been in brilliant touch, and it seems like he is enjoying the Dambulla wicket. Seifert will be one of the safest picks for the match. 

Isuru Udana can make all-roun contributions for the team [X]

Isuru Udana (GM)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 52 Runs and 8 Wickets in 4 Matches
• The Sri Lankan all-rounder has been very effective in this tournament. Isuru Udana has picked up wickets in almost all the matches. He has also made valuable contributions with the bat under pressure when the team needed it. With Udana's ability to pick up points in both innings of the game, he will be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests. 

DS vs GM Differential Picks

Mark Chapman (DS)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 177 Runs in 4 Matches
• This Kiwi all-rounder has so far delivered with the bat whenever he has got a chance. However, Mark Chapman's batting position and the nature of the wicket at Dambulla make him a differential choice for the game. 

Alex Hales (GM)

• LPL 2024 Stats: 140 Runs in 4 Matches
• The English opener has looked in good touch and has got a start in almost all the matches so far. However, Alex Hales has failed to convert his starts consistently and, hence, will be a differential choice for the game.
