Galle Gladiators are favorites to win
Dambulla Aura will take on Galle Gladiators at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Match 15 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 15:00 local time on Saturday 17th December.
After picking up zero wins and zero points across five games in Hambantota and Kandy, Dambulla Aura will be hoping that another change in venue brings a change in their fortunes. They have lost their last three games by nine wickets, 77 runs and 51 runs.
Dambulla were bowled out for a disappointing 89 from only 13.5 overs in their last match against Colombo Stars. With Both of their openers, Lasith Croospulle and Shevon Daniel making ducks. Tom Abell and bowling all-rounder Paul van Meekeren also scored no runs. Aura are still searching for their first half-century of the tournament.
Medium fast bowler Pramod Madushan took the only wicket in Match 14 and returned impressive figures of 1-3 from his two overs. Madushan is Dambulla Aura’s leading wicket taker in the tournament and he should enjoy the extra pace on offer in Colombo.
Dambulla Aura have lost all five matches in the competition with heavy defeats in their last three games.
With four points from five matches, Galle Gladiators will be looking to take maximum points from this game against the only side beneath them in the competition. They narrowly lost their last match, against Colombo Stars, in Match 12 but will be confident of getting a win in their first meeting with Dambulla Aura in this campaign.
In spite of 72 runs from 49 balls from captain Kusal Mendis at the top of the order and 58 runs from 33 balls from Asad Shafiq at number four, Galle Gladiators somehow lost their last game. All of their top four batters are in form and scored over 24 runs at a strike-rate of at least 146 against Colombo Stars.
The experienced Pakistan left-arm quick, Wahab Riaz, went for an incredible 61 runs from his four overs in the last match and it was his performance which ultimately cost his side the win. He may be rested for this game leaving Nuwan Thushara and Anwar Ali, who both took three wickets in the last match, to lead the attack.
Galle Gladiators had won successive games before their defeat in their last fixture.
The match will be played at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. We expect to see pace, bounce and turn on this wicket with a par score in the region of 175.

Although Galle Gladiators managed to lose their last game in spite of posting 193-5, we expect them to have too much strength with both bat and ball for Dambulla Aura. The Gladiators have plenty of runs at the top of their batting order whereas Dambulla’s team are all struggling for confidence with the bat. We are predicting a victory for Galle Gladiators.
