Betting Tips
- Coming this final, they'll have one final opportunity to prove their worth. They'll have to do it if Galle Gladiators have to pull of an unlikely win. There are too many flaws in the batting but their bowling thankfully looks decent.
- Mohammed Amir has been terrific and spinners Dhananjaya Lakshan and Lakshan Sandakan can get the best out this pitch. The all rounders have also bowled well So, if Galle Gladiators can bat well, we’ llbe in for some exciting cricket.
- Taking about Jaffna Stallions, they've been simply outstanding. Their tournament got slightly off track after losing their last three matches but they proved their mettle in the semi final with an emphatic win over Dambulla Viikings.
Our Pick Jaffna Stallions are favorites to win
Galle Gladiators vs Jaffna Stallions Final, LPL 2020
Galle Gladiators will take on Jaffna Stallions in the final of the Sri Lanka Premier League. The match will be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium and is scheduled to begin at 7.00 PM local time.
So we’re in to the final day of the Sri Lanka Premier League and what a tournament it haas turned out to be. We won’t say that the two best teams are playing the final because Galle Gladiators are very fortunate to have a shot at the title even after losing most of their matches.
For Galle Gladiators, Danuskha Gunathilaka was class apart but if you analyse the performance of their other players, the Galle management will be very disappointed. There were lot of expectations from players like Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Azam Khan, Ahsan Ali, all have consistently performed well in domestic cricket and it was a great opportunity for all of them to make a case for a national selection however, it didn’t happened.
The batting is an issue for Jaffna Stallions as well as they’ve failed to deliver collective performances but the good thing is that all of their players are in form. Avishka Fernando has been their best batsmen and will continue to be. Johnson Charles got 76 the other day is also a big boost. Players like Shoaib Malik, Thisara Perera are also big match players.
In the bowling department, Wanindu Hasaranga, Usman Shinwari and Duanne Olivier form a lethal bowling attack and won’t make it easy for Galle Gladiatiors. All in all, there is a big difference in the skill set of both teams and anyone with little sense of the game can tell that Jaffna Stalions are big favourites here but Cricket is a funny game and we’ve seen some big upsets in the past.

GGD vs JST Toss Prediction
Toss will be very crucial. In a crunch game like final, on a slow pitch. No captain would want to chase.
Weather Report
The weather looks good but there are 40% chances of rain. Hopefully, it won’t affect the match.
Pitch Condition
The match will be played at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota. The pitch curators have done a commendable job throughout the tournament. The pitches were excellent for batting. They did get a little slow as the tournament went on but that’s something that’s inevitable. We saw the same in Sharjah during the IPL as well. For this match, the pitch will be no different - A good batting wicket with not much pace. Slower bowlers will have a bigger say than the pacers.

GGD vs JST Dream11 Prediction
-
Wicket-keeper
Johnson Charles at 9.0 is a good option. He played a magnificent knock of 76 in the semi final so he’s in some good form.
-
Batsmen
Danushka Gunathilaka at 10, Avishka Fernando at 10 and Bhanuka Rajapaksa at 9.0 form a strong batting order. Gunathilaka and Fernando are the two top scorers for their team while Bhanuka Rajapaksa have started to look good in the last few matches. We expect a big inning is just around the corner.
-
All-rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga at 9.5, Shehan Jayasuriy at 9.0 and Dhanajaya de Silva at 8.5 will provide enough depth to your team. Hasaranga has been brilliant with the ball but when needed he has contributed with the ball as well. Shehan Jayasuriya is another player that can be very handy with his all round skills. Dhanajaya de Silva is back in the playing XI and is a very useful cricketer.
-
Bowlers
Usman Shinwari at 8.5, Dianne Olivier at 8.5, Mohammed Amir and Akila Dhananjya at 9.0 form a strong bowling attack. Shinwari and Amir are two quality pacers. Amir especially has been terrific. The other two bowlers i.e Akila Dhananjaya and Duanne Oliver too have been very good with the ball. The pitch support Akila Dhananjaya more than any other bowler.
-
Captain/Vice-captain
Danushka Gunathilaka is our preferred skipper while Avishka Fernando can be backed as his deputy.
GGD vs JST Dream11 Team Prediction

All Rounder:Shehan Jayasuriya, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dhananjaya de Silva
