Lanka T10 League

Match - 03

Preview

One of the most exciting tournaments, the Lanka T10 League, is all set to begin this Wednesday. Last year, the competition was postponed due to some issues. This 60-ball contest will feature three matches daily. In the third match of this league, Kandy (KB) will face Galle (GM) on Wednesday, December 11. The match is scheduled to take place at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka. Thisara Perera will lead the Kandy side, while Maheesh Theekshana will captain Galle.

It is expected to be a thrilling contest, with many superstars featuring in both teams. The likes of Thisara Perera, Imad Wasim, Dinesh Chandimal, and other players will play key roles for Kandy. English batter Alex Hales and West Indies batter Andre Fletcher will be players to watch out for in Galle's lineup.

Both sides, KB and GM, have many batting all-rounders in their squads, so we can expect a strong middle order with big-hitting finishers.

Match Details

Match: KB vs GM, Match 3, Lanka T10 League 2024

Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024

Time: 08:30 PM

Venue: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele

Pitch Report

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is known as a decent batting surface. The new white ball might show some movement, particularly in the lights, but once the pitch settles, batters can easily score their runs. This venue has hosted 26 T20s matches so far, out of which 14 won by batting first, and 09 won by the chasing side. The average score batting first in T20s here is 168 runs. But when it comes to T10 the situation is going to be different as batters will be given only 60 balls to score the runs.

With that record, both side's skippers will be keen to the crucial toss, bowl first and put pressure on the opposition by taking advantage of the deck. Batters, though, can expect a nice time here and the fielding side would try to restrict them to under 85-90 runs.

During the match, the temperature in Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is predicted to be around 23-27 degrees Celsius, with the humidity level crossing over 90%. There is going to be light wind on the ground at the speed of 03 km/h. There is a 25% chance of rain interrupting the match, but we might expect a full match.
