Pre-Match Analysis:
Colombo Stars managed to finish 3rd in the standings with 6 points to their name. They were completely outclassed by Jaffna Kings and Kandy Falcons in their previous two matches which is not a morale booster heading into the playoffs. They had an average tournament overall and need to level up their game in order to stay alive. Experienced Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Matthews are the only two batters for them to surpass the 150 run-mark in this tournament. The bowlers lacked clarity and failed as a unit overall. It’s time for them to regroup and come back well in this must-win encounter.
Despite losing their last 4 league matches, Galle Gladiators still ended up finishing 4th in the standings with 4 points and made it to the playoffs based on a better run rate than Dambulla Aura. They didn’t show any intent with the bat in the last 3 matches. Seamer Nuwan Thushara is their best bowler so far, picking up 14 wickets. Kusal Mendis and Nuwanidu Fernando are the batters to watch out for them.
