Preview

The cricket fans are ready to witness yet another epic clash of the Sri Lanka T20 League. GG will face CS in the 12th match which is scheduled at the Pallekele Stadium on Tuesday, December 13. 

The Galle side had underperformed in this tournament so far. They had played four games, winning only two of them. GG are placed in the third spot in the points table with 4 points. They defeated KF, a very strong side, in their previous match.

The Colombo side is another team who are not having a good season. They lost three out of four matches and are placed in the second position from the bottom of the league standings.

GG met CS in the 7th match of this league in which the Galle’s side sealed their victory by 25 runs. GG while batting first posted a total of 174 runs with the service of Lahiru Udana scoring 45 runs. Later in the second innings, opener Niroshan Dickwella remained unbeaten at 58 runs but lacked assistance from his fellow batters. Only Ravi Bopara smashed 46 runs but that wasn’t enough to reach the target as they lost at the end of 20 overs.
