Galle Titans

Galle Titans will be coming into this match on the back of a defeat against Dambulla Aura in the Qualifier 1. It was a below average day for the Titans with the bat as the bowlers never had enough runs to defend on the board.

Eventually, Dambulla chased down the total with ease and went through to the final. Captain Dasun Shanaka will be hoping his batters to come good and have a better day in the must win Qualifier 2.

The Galle franchise have managed to reach the final twice in the last three years but have not got over the line. They will be hoping to not repeat the same mistakes and get through everyone from this stage to lift their maiden silverware.

GT vs BLK: Pitch Report

The pitch at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is expected to be a balanced one. Seamers do get movements initially with spinners taking the control in the middle overs. Batters can score big once they are settled. Chasing has not been an easy task at this venue this season, therefore, the team winning the toss should bat first. The first innings score is expected to be around 165.
