Colombo Strikers vs Galle Titans T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2023
Colombo Strikers will lock horns with Galle Titans in match 10 of the Lanka Premier League. The game will be played at Pallekele International Stadium and start at 3:00 PM IST on August 7.
Colombo Strikers suffered their second defeat in three games after they lost to Dambulla Aura in the previous match. The team conceded 192-6 in 20 overs and could only manage 182-4 in the chase to lose the game by 10 runs. Babar Azam scored 41 and Nuwanidu Fernando made 56 but the knocks were not good enough. Strikers will be concerned about the inconsistency in batting which has hurt the team so far.
Meanwhile, Galle Titans are flying high with two wins in three games. However, their performance in the last game was below par. The team could only make 117-9 against Jaffna Kings and lost the game by 8 wickets. The team will hope that it was a one-off performance where things did not click and they will be looking to come back strong against Strikers.

Colombo Strikers Team News & Playing 11
CS Team News
The team will be concerned about the batting. Dickwella got runs in the first game, Nuwanidu Fernando scored in the last game but the team’s batting has not clicked together. Babar has looked good in two games, and you expect him to be consistent but other batters also need to contribute to revive the team’s campaign.
CS Key Players
- Babar Azam – Babar has been the team’s best batter so far and it does not come as a surprise. Babar scored 59 in the second game and looked good for his 41 in the last game before being run out. With other batters not performing, Babar needs to ensure he is at the crease out full 20 overs.
- Niroshan Dickwella – Dickwella started the tournament with a brilliant 50 but has looked out of touch in the previous two games. The captain needs to show consistency and help the team put up some big scores.
- Matheesha Pathirana – Pathirana has taken two back-to-back 3 wickets hauls in last two games and has looked the most lethal Colombo bowler.
CS Team Form
Colombo Strikers have looked below par, losing two of the three games.

Galle Titans Team News & Playing 11
GT Team News
Galle Titans suffered a batting collapse against Jaffna Kings but the team has been positive and played good cricket, with most of the players doing well.
GT Key Players
- Tim Seifert- Tim Seifert scored 74 against Kandy. The batter has been going through a purple patch and even though he did fail in the last game, he continues to be the team’s best batter.
- Shakib Al Hasan- Shakib Al Hasan brings a lot to the table. While he is yet to deliver a match-winning performance, he has scored a few crucial runs for the team and picked a few important wickets. However, the team needs a bit more support from their best player.
- Tabraiz Shami – The left-arm spinner is one of the best players in this format of the game and will be a challenge for teams owing to his variations. Shamsi will be a big asset for Galle in the LPL 2023 tournament.
GT Team Form
Galle Titans won the first two games but suffered defeat in the last game against Jaffna Kings.
