Kusal Mendis scored a brilliant 87 against Colombo Strikers. He does not have any other big score to show but he has been hitting the ball well before getting out to a poor shot. Mendis, however, can play a big inning again.
Dhananjaya De Silva will be very handy for Dambulla owing to his all-round skills. De Silva has batted well in a few games while the Premadasa pitch will help him get his off breaks grip and turn.
Tim Seifert has scored 161 runs in five games and has been the most consistent batter for the Galle Titans. The team will need him to play another big innings as the other batters are not in great form.
Shakib Al Hasan brings a lot to the table. He is a key batter in the middle order and the team’s leading spinner. Galle will be expecting match-winning performances from him in the games to come.
Kusal Perera has been very consistent in the LPL 2023 so far but he is yet to play a big match-winning innings. He will be looking to do the same in the next match against Galle Titans.
