Colombo Kings have won the previous battle against Galle in a rain-affected game when they met last time, where Andre Russell hammered Galle bowlers by scoring 65 runs at a strike rate of 342. Qais Ahmad with his variations is hard to pick and he has taken 7 wickets this tournament. In their previous match, they won against Kandy Tuskers by 7 wickets and moved to 2nd spot in the standings with 8 points.

On the other hand, Galle Gladiators are struggling in this tournament having lost 5 out of 5 matches and they are currently at the bottom of the table with zero points, from now on every match will be a knockout for them. In their previous match, they lost to Dambulla Viiking by 9 runs. The unavailability of skipper Shahid Afridi will hurt them going forward. Leaking too many runs with the ball won’t help them win the matches so need to execute their plan in a better way. Danushka Gunathilaka is their main performer this season for them with the bat having scored 3 half-centuries. They need to find the right combination if they want to move up in the points table.
