Galle Gladiators vs Jaffna Kings T20 Final Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Galle Gladiators and Jaffna Kings will cross swords for the fourth time in the tournament. Galle are yet to taste defeat against Jaffna but can they prevail in the final. Read our Preview for the LPL final that will be played at Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium in Hambantota at 7:30 PM IST.
Galle Gladiators have been inconsistent but have managed to play better cricket than other teams. Their confidence will be skyrocketing after back to back wins over Jaffna. However, they would not want to be complacent because Jaffna is a very strong team and will come back hard at them. Gladiators' bowlers are in great form but the onus will be on the batters to shine. If the willow wielders can perform, Gladiators will have a very good chance of winning.
Meanwhile, after two back to back losses against Galle Gladiators, Jaffna Kings were back at their ruthless best as they defeated Dambulla Giants in Qualifier 2 to book a final clash with Gladiators. Jaffna has been outstanding in the tournament but somehow they have struggled against Gladiators, losing all their previous three games. However, the team will still be very optimistic about winning the final, given the dream run they have experienced in the tournament so far. Each and every batter from the Kings has contributed handsomely which is a great sign going into the final. The bowling has been equally potent.
