Kowloon Cantons Team News & Playing 11
Dwayne Smith, Samit Patel and skipper Babar Hayat are going to be the team's best bets with the bat. Smith topped the runs charts (259 runs in 5 matches at avg. of 64.75) last season and the Cantons will hope that the West Indian is able to replicate that form. The team will look to their English imports Samit Patel and Ashar Zaidi to deliver the goods with the ball. The latter took eight wickets in five matches last year and the Cantons will expect a strong performance from this left-arm spinner.

Galaxy Gladiators Lantau Team News & Playing 11
Skipper Kumar Sangakkara, Cameron Delport and James Franklin are the most reliable names in the side when it comes to batting. Sangakkara did well for the Gladiators in the previous edition of the tournament and his loads of experience makes him the key man. Jofra Archer and Seekkuge Prasanna are the main weapons in the team's bowling attack. Paceman Archer put up impressive performances for his side in this year's Big Bash League and he will be the biggest threat for the Cantons with the new ball.

Kowloon Cantons vs Galaxy Gladiators Prediction
Both teams seem to have decent overseas recruits and so the team who's local players perform better is more likely to emerge victorious in this match. Kowloon Cantons have the upper hand going into this game as they had beaten Galaxy Gladiators Lantau quite convincingly in the previous season. The Cantons are also the most consistent team of the Hong Kong T20 Blitz having won the tournament both times and so we feel they are better placed to start their campaign off with a win.
Final Verdict: Back Kowloon Cantons to beat Galaxy Gladiators Lantau.
