Galle Marvels vs Jaffna Kings Toss Prediction

It is a balanced wicket with good bounce and carry. Fast bowlers would find some help early on with the new ball. At least 170 or more should be on the cards for the team batting first. Anything less than that will not be a competitive total. Last year teams chasing enjoyed the upper hand at this venue and B-Love-Kandy had chased down 157 against Dambulla with 7 wickets in hand. Both teams have a strong bowling attack and would back their bowlers to restrict the opposition to a low score.

Weather Report

The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 31 degrees Celsius in Pallekele on the match day.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Galle Marvel

The sides have clashed twice in the format. Both the teams have a win each. Jaffna Kings have won the title thrice and will look to carry on with the same reputation in the next game. Both teams feature regular Sri Lankan internationals and an overseas power hitter in the top order. Jaffna Kings look slightly superior on paper, making them slight favourites in this closely contested match.
