GT vs DA: Team Previews

Galle Titans

Galle Titans, formerly Galle Gladiators, finished fourth on the points table last season. They secured only two wins from their eight league-stage fixtures and subsequently lost to Colombo Stars in the Eliminator. They are currently struggling with a five-game losing streak and hold a listless 1-4 head-to-head record against Dambulla.


Dambulla Aura

On the other hand, Dambulla finished last on the points table in the 2022 edition of the tournament. They failed to make it into the playoffs in the five-team event, as they sustained six massive defeats from their eight league games.

Their dreadful performance last season aside, Dambulla hold an impressive head-to-head record against Galle. In their five meetings, Dambulla has emerged victorious four times.
