GM vs JK Pitch Report

Two different wickets have been used at the Premadasa Stadium in this tournament. While on one track, batting has appeared to be easier, run-scoring has been a bit difficult on the other one. Overall, we can say that the batters need to spend some time in the middle before they can take on the bowlers. As far as the bowlers are concerned, spinners will have assistance from the track, which will increase with the progress of the game. The pacers need to try to hit the deck as much as possible and use their cutters and variations in speed to be successful.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • Batting will be the easiest when the ball is hard and new and is coming onto the bat. Thus, the top-order batters will be the best picks for the game. 
  • Spinners will get assistance from the wicket after the initial few overs and will be the safest picks. 
  • For faster bowlers, pick those who bowl more in the death overs and rely mostly on their cutters and variation in pace to pick up wickets. 


GM vs JK Fantasy Cricket Tips

Galle Marvels heavy fantasy XI

  • Tim Seifert has been the most consistent batter for the Marvels in the tournament. Alex Hales has also made small but regular contributions to the team's purpose. These two batters will be the safest choices for the fantasy contests. 
  • Niroshan Dickwella and Bhanuka Rajapaksa could be the differential choices that help you in big fantasy contests. 
  • Isuru Udana has been the most consistent performer of the team. He has delivered for the team with both his trades whenever the team has needed it. Udana should be a must-pick for the game. 
  • Dwaine Pretorius and Maheesh Theekshana could be your go-to choices if you are looking to keep more bowlers from the Galle Marvels.

Jaffna Kings heavy fantasy XI

  • Avishka Fernando has been the most consistent run-scorer for the Kings. He is a must-pick for this match. 
  • Pathum Nissanka has looked good in parts. The Sri Lankan opener has scored big whenever he has got going. Nissanka will be one of those players who might be risky, but you can't leave out. 
  • It has been a team effort by the Kings as far as bowling is concerned. However, Fabian Allen is the highest wicket-taker for the team, and you can back him. If the Kings play Tabraiz Shamsi in this game, then you can pick him, as he has been very efficient in whatever chances he has got.


GM vs JK Winner Prediction

The Galle Marvels have so far been the best team in the tournament. They finished at the top of the table in the group stages and then won the first qualifier against the Jaffna Kings to be in the summit clash of the tournament. 

On the other hand, the Jaffna Kings have also been competitive enough. Though they lost in Qualifier 1, they defeated the Kandy Falcons in a closely fought Qualifier 2 and have booked their berth in this game. The Kings have the momentum with them. But the all-round cricket that the Marvels have played and the overall balance of the team make them the favourites in this game. 

However, as far as it comes down to performance on the day, the team chasing the target will have a slight edge. 


GM vs JK Top Player Picks

Tim Seifert (GM)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 353 Runs in 9 Matches
  • The Kiwi top-order batter has been the most consistent run-scorer for the Marvels in the tournament. Tim Sefiert’s regular solid performance with the bat has played a major role in the success of the team in this tournament. Seifert will be one of the hot picks for this game. 

Isuru Udana (GM)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 126 Runs and 14 Wickets in 9 Matches
  • This experienced Sri Lankan all-rounder has been an asset to his team in the tournament. Be it with the bat or the ball, Isuru Udana has delivered under pressure and has provided great dynamism and flexibility to the side. Given the form he is in, Udana should be a must-pick. 

Avishka Fernando (JK)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 374 Runs in 10 Matches
  • The Sri Lankan middle-order batter has scored the most runs in the tournament so far. Avishka Fernando has delivered well in most games and will be a key player in keeping you in competition in the fantasy contests of the match. 


Pathum Nissanka has will be crucial for the Jaffna Kings in the Final of LPL 2024 [X]Pathum Nissanka has will be crucial for the Jaffna Kings in the Final of LPL 2024 [X]

Pathum Nissanka (JK)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 333 Runs in 10 Matches
  • The Sri Lankan opener has not consistently scored runs, but whenever he has got going, he has scored big. Even though Pathum Nissanka has not been super consistent, he has looked in good form. Nissanka will be a good choice for the game.


GM vs JK Differential Picks

Nirsohan Dickwella (GM)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 179 Runs in 9 Matches
  • The Galle Marvels skipper has looked good in parts. Niroshan Dickwella started off on a good note, but consistency died as the tournament progressed. However, he has looked good in parts and could be a differential choice for the game. 

Rilee Rossouw (JK)

  • LPL 2024 Stats: 283 Runs in 10 Matches
  • The South African batters did not have the best starts to the tournament. But Rilee Rossouw has looked good in the Colombo leg of the tournament. He is in decent form and could be a game-changing choice in the fantasy contests. 


GM vs JK Fantasy Expert Advice

The Colombo wicket will provide opportunities for players of all trades to have a say in the game's fate. However, considering how the wicket has behaved in the last few matches and the players' current form, a 1-4-3-3 or a 2-4-3-2 combination will be ideal for the game.
