Preview 

The fifth match of the Lanka T10 League 2024 will be played between Galle Marvels and Hambantota Bangla Tigers on Thursday, December 12, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. 

On the tournament's first day, we were treated to intense action, with all six teams fiercely competing to claim the top spot. While one match may not have met expectations, the other two were power-packed thrills, showcasing the excitement of the game's shortest format. The fans can look forward to another day of such competitive action.

The Galle Marvels have commenced their journey with a stellar show against the Kandy Bolts. They defeated KB by a seven-wicket margin, and as a result of their robust performance, they are currently at the top of the Lankan T10 leaderboard. 

On the contrary, the Bangla Tigers are coming off a defeat in their first game against the Jaffna Kings. They lost by 8 wickets and are in second-last place in the league standings.
