Dambulla Giants vs Galle Gladiators T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Dambulla Giants will be satisfied with the way they have played so far. After winning the first game against Kandy Warriors, they suffered a crushing defeat to Jaffna Kings. However, they bounced back and defeated Colombo Stars in the previous game. The batting has done well so far. Phil Salt has sizzled in the tournament and has two fifties in three games. Dasun Shanaka, Niroshan Dickwella and Najibullah Zadran have looked good as well. However, they will need a bit more consistency from the batters. The bowling led by Nuwan Pradeep has been in decent touch as well.
Galle Gladiators, on the other hand, have been pretty clinical as well. They have picked two wins over Kandy Warriors and Jaffna Kings while losing a game against Colombo Stars. The concern though will be the batting which has failed to put big runs on the board. Danushka Gunathilaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are the only batters who have played well. Ben Dunk, Mohammad Hafeez and Kusal Mendis have to come good. The bowling though has been magnificent, with Samit Patel, Dhananjaya Lakshan, Mohammad Hafeez, Noor Ahmed doing well.

Chasing has been difficult thus both skippers will be keen to bat first.
DG vs GG Pitch Report
The surface has been good for batting as we have seen a few big totals in the tournament. However, it gets slower as the game progresses, making chasing a difficult ask.
Weather Report
Plenty of rain is expected on the match day. However, the day game should go through without interruption.

Dambulla Giants Team News & Playing 11
DG Team News
Sohaib Maqsood has looked off-colour and concerns are being raised about his place in the team. However, we think he will get one more chance in the coming game of LPL 2021.
DG Key Players
- Phil Salt - Salt has two 60+ scores in three games of the tournament so far. He's been in prime form and is one of the few batters from Dambulla who has looked good.
- Najibullah Zadran - Zadran too depicted his hitting prowess and scored a brilliant 54 in the last game against Colombo. The batter has been very impressive of late and Dambulla will be hoping that he continues his form in the coming games as well.
- Nuwan Pradeep - Nuwan Pradeep has bowled his heart out in the tournament so far. While he has been slightly expensive, he has picked crucial wickets.
DG Team Form
Giants have won two of the three games but the batters have blown hot and cold
Dambulla Giants Predicted Playing 11
Philip Salt, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Dilshan Munaweera, Sohaib Maqsood, Dasun Shanaka (c), Najibullah Zadran, Chamika Karunaratne, Ramesh Mendis, Tharindu Ratnayake, Nuwan Pradeep, Imran Tahir
Galle Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
GG Team News
We don't think Galle will be keen to change their winning combination. However, considering that teams are playing back to back games, they may opt to rest a few players.
GG Key Players
- Bhanuka Rajapaksa - The skipper played a match-winning knock in the first game. He looked in decent touch in the last game against Kandy as well and scored 22 runs. Since the top order batters are not performing, the responsibility on Rajapaksa increases significantly.
- Mohammad Hafeez - While the batter has not fired with the bat, his all-round skills are very useful. He has been economical and taken wickets as well. Runs will also come sooner or later given the quality batter he is.
- Samit Patel - Patel has been magnificent so far. He has taken two three wicket hauls in three games. His economy is also impressive. If required, he is more than capable to contribute with the bat as well.
GG Team Form
The team has also won two of their three games.
Galle Gladiators Predicted Playing 11
Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Mohammad Hafeez, Ben Dunk (wk), Samit Patel, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (c), Dhananjaya Lakshan, Lahiru Madushanka, Noor Ahmad, Nuwan Thushara, Suminda Lakshan

🏆 Dambulla Giants vs Galle Gladiators Prediction
Even though both teams have won two games, their batting has been inconsistent. Only a couple of players have carried the teams’ batting so far. This can be an issue going forward in the tournament. Given that Galle have a far better bowling unit, we feel that Dambulla batters are going to struggle in the match. This makes Galle as favourites to win the match.
