Match no. 1: Jaffna Kings vs Galle Gladiators
When defending champions Jaffna Kings led by Thisara Perera will be up against Kusal Mendis' Galle Gladiators who are no short of power. While the Kings boast Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Rahmunullah Gurbaz, Shoaib Malik, Maheesh Theekshana and Tristan Stubbs, their counterparts are lit with Iftikhar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Imad Wasim, Kusal Perera and Mohammad Hafeez.
Key Players
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore looked impressive in the recently concluded T10 League where he thumped 289 runs at a strike rate of 192.
- Iftikhar Ahmed was in red-form during the tournament where smashed three half-centuries from five innings in the shortest format.
Prediction
Jaffna's squad looks more stable and solid as they are here after winning the previous edition. Therefore, with the kind of side they have around this time, they certainly are the favourites.
