Captain and vice-captain:
Danuskha Gunathalika is unstoppable at the top of the order. He made 38 runs in the last innings and had scored 3 consecutive fifties before that. In 6 innings in this tournament so far, he has scored 30 at least 30 runs in each innings. He now has 322 runs at an average of 64.40 and a strike-rate of 145.04.
Azam Khan has found form and is been highly consistent in the recent games in LPL. He made 35* in the last game and scored a half-century in the earlier game. He is now the second-highest run-scorer for his team and has made 158 runs at an average of 39.50 and has a stunning strike-rate of 188.09.
M Amir has finally arrived in the LPL. After bowling without any venom in few games, Amir finally delivered a crackling performance as he claimed 5 wickets for just 26 runs against Colombo. Given his tremendous skills and his confidence, he could be the X factor for this game.
N Dickwella has batted well in the last couple of games. He made 28* in the previous match and had scored 60 runs in the match before that. He ha 138 runs in 6 innings and has an effective strike-rate of 146.80.
Although few key players of Galle have found form in recent times, Dambulla still remains a better team as they are loaded with match-winners So in the GG vs DV Dream11 today match prediction, expect DV to win the game.
