Colombo Stars and Galle Gladiators will face in a must-win Eliminator of the LPL 2022. Both teams were poor in the league stage. While Colombo Stars could manage just three wins in eight games, Galle Gladiators could win just two of their eight matches.
Despite the poor show, both teams managed to reach the playoffs due to the low number of teams. The teams will be keen to make amends and win the Eliminator to book a berth in Qualifier 2.
It should be a good wicket to bat. The pacers might not get a lot of help from the wicket but spinners may be hard to score off. If there is dew, then spinners can also get into trouble.
There is 70 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The temperature will range between 24 and 28 degrees.

Charith Asalanka is a player who can be a game-changer for Colombo Stars. He is a very talented batter and has played a couple of good knocks for the Stars in the tournament.
Dinesh Chandimal has also played a few good knocks in the tournament. When the two teams last met, he scored 63 runs in 33 balls so he is also a top choice in the game.
Kusal Mendis has blown hot and cold in the tournament. However, he is a big game player and Galle will be expecting that he comes good in this must-win game.
Jeff Vandersay can be a trump card for the Stars. With the wicket assisting the spinners, Prasanna will be the main man for Stars in the match with the ball.
Imad Wasim can be a very good option to have. Imad is a brilliant left-arm spinner and also a very handy batter down the order.
