Jaffna Kings vs Galle Gladiators T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2021
Jaffna Kings will look to continue their winning momentum ahead of the Qualifiers when they take on Galle Gladiators in their final league game. The match will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium and will start at 3:00 PM IST.
Jaffna Kings have been unstoppable in the tournament. They have now won six games on the trot and have confirmed their berth in the playoffs as the first ranked team. This means they will get two shots at the final. In case they lose the qualifier, they will get a chance to play an Eliminator against the winner of Qualifier 2, which will be played between the third and fourth qualifier team.
Galle Gladiators, meanwhile, are placed second on the points table. However, they are tied on points with Dambulla Giants. If they lose this game by a big margin, they may slip to third and lose the chance to play Qualifier 1. Also, Colombo Stars are following them and if they manage to win their game, they will reach the second spot thus Galle will be keen to win this game.
However, winning against a rampant Jaffna won't be easy. Throughout the tournament, Galle has struggled with the form of their batters. Kusal Mendis has been the lone warriors for the team. The bowling has done well but the team will need big runs on board to challenge a daunting opposition.
Barring the loss in the first game, Jaffna has been brilliant. Their batters are in top form, while the bowlers are spitting venom with their bowling. It'll be a big shock if Galle manages to beat Jaffna.

Jaffna Kings Team News & Playing 11
JK Team News
Jaffna Kings have cemented their berth in the playoffs as the first ranked team. We are pretty sure they will rest a few players from this game. Malik, Hasaranga and Cadmore are the players who may be given a break.
JK Key Players
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore - The batter has been in scintillating form and showed his prowess by scoring a belligerent 92 in the last game. Once again, the onus will be on him to lay a solid platform for the batters to follow. However, he may be rested from the game given that he has played all games of the tournament. On the other hand, Kings might not want to break his momentum and keep him in the team.
- Thisara Perera - Perera has been brilliant so far. The batter has come in and decimated the teams. He has stroked a couple of fifties and helped Jaffna finish on a high. An in-form Perera is very dangerous.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - The all-rounder has proved his worth throughout the season. He has been brilliant with the ball and when required, he has chipped in with crucial runs as well.

Galle Gladiators Team News & Playing 11
GG Team News
It's an important game for Gladiators and they must have sorted out the combination they want to go in with in the playoffs. We don't see them making any changes to the team.
GG Key Players
- Kusal Mendis - Kusal Mendis has picked up some form late in the tournament. He has consistently scored 30s and 40s but a big knock is still awaited from him. However, his form is good thus a big knock should not be far away.
- Samit Patel - Patel has been a valuable addition to the team. He has performed well with the bat when required, while his bowling has been top-notch as well. He won the Player of the Match award in the last game owing to his spell of 2-24.
- Mohammad Amir - The pacer has made a sizzling return to competitive cricket. He has been very impressive in every game he has played in the tournament.
GG Team Form
Galle Gladiators have endured a mixed outing, winning three and losing as many games.

Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka, Mohammad Hafeez, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (c), Samit Patel, Isuru Udana, Mohammed Shamaaz (wk), Dhananjaya Lakshan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Amir, Pulina Tharanga
