Galle Gladiators are favorites to win
Galle Gladiators will take on Dambulla Aura at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Match 20 of the 2022 Lanka Premier League gets underway at 19:30 local time on Monday 19th December.
Coming into this game with four points from seven games, a win for Galle Gladiators could see them move up into third place but a defeat could see them eliminated from the competition ahead of the semi-final stage. They were beaten by 48 runs in the first meeting with Dambulla Aura earlier in the tournament.
Only Andre Fletcher has hit more runs than Kusal Mendis so far in the competition. Last year’s leading run scorer has made three half-centuries across the 2022 LPL and will be the player who the rest of the Gladiators look to in this match.
37 year old Pakistan left-arm pace bowler Wahab Riaz has struggled in a couple of games in this tournament but produced his best performance in the last game. He recorded figures of 3-37 and we expect him to be used as an attacking option again in this match.
Galle Gladiators are looking to avoid their fourth successive defeat in this competition.
Although it has been a season to forget for Dambulla Aura with only one win from their seven matches, a victory in this game - over the only team who they have beaten so far - could see them sneak into fourth place and take a place in the semi-finals.
Chasing 161 to beat top of the table Kandy Falcons on Sunday, Aura finished 39 runs short on 121-9. Sikandar Raza was pushed up the order to number three and should keep that place after hitting 45 runs from 33 balls. Opener Jordan Cox and Bhanuka Rajapaksa will both be looking to make big contributions after recording ducks against the Falcons.
Matthew Forde (2-16), Noor Ahmed (0-24) and Sikandar Raza (1-26) all impressed with the ball against Kandy Falcons. Left arm pace bowler Kalana Perera came in for his first appearance of the season and took 2-27. As a left-arm pacer, he could well be the bowler to watch for Dambulla Aura.
Dambulla Aura were unable to make it two wins in a row in Sunday’s defeat.
The match will be played at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Both teams have nothing to lose in this fixture and the pitch will be hard with plenty of bounce for this contest.

Although Galle Gladiators have picked up one additional victory and two more points than Dambulla Aura in the tournament, we are expecting a close contest on Monday evening in Colombo with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs. Dambulla Aura won the reverse fixture by 48 runs on Saturday and they will be confident of repeating their success in this match. However, we think that the Gladiators have more quality with both bat and ball and are backing them to get the victory in this game.
