Captain and vice-captain:
Asela Gunaratane made a crucial half-century in the last game. He scored 52 runs from just 37 balls to take his team home and had earlier bowled incredibly well as he gave just 21 runs in 4 overs and claimed 2 wickets. He now has 156 in LPL this season at an average of 52.00 and has taken 9 wickets as well.
MD Gunathalika is the leading run-scorer for Galle with 368 runs in 7 innings at an average of 61.33 and has made 3 fifties. He made 46 runs from 31 balls in the last game.
Kusal Perera made 42 runs from 36 balls in the last game and continued his consistent run in this tournament. He has made 209 runs so far and has a strike-rate of 133.97. He has also slammed one fifty in 7 innings.
D Steyn isn’t known for his T20 bowling but he still remains a mighty force when he runs-in with the ball in his hand. He played his first in LPL and claimed 2 wickets. He could prove lethal in the Powerplay and hence is the X factor in this game.
Kandy won their last game and hence they will have more confidence. So in the GG vs KT Dream11 today match prediction, expect KT to win the game.
