JS vs GG Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – Lanka Premier League, Match 2

Match Details:

The 2nd match of the Lanka Premier League will be played between Jaffna Stallions and Galle Gladiators at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Sooriyawewa, Hambantota.

This match is scheduled to start at 08:00 PM Local Time and IST. The game will be telecasted on Sony Six.

Preview:

After a successful inaugural day of the LPL 2020, Jaffna Stallions are taking on Galle Gladiators in the second fixture of the tournament. The Stallions will be led by Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera followed by some big overseas stars like Shoiab Malik, Kyle Abbott. Dawid Malan, Asif Ali and Ravi Bopara’s unavailabilities is a big blow for them. However, they possess some highly-rated local stars who will be boasting with confidence to perform at such a big stage.

On the other side, Galle Gladiators will be led by Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the absence of Pakistani legend Shahid Afridi. They are entering into this tournament without the Lankan Legend, Lasith Malinga. They have other foreign superstars like Mohammad Amir, Chadwick Walton and Afghan opener Hazratullah Zazai.

The batting will rely on Danushka Gunathilaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa with there being a lack of options in the bowling department with Amir and left-arm spinner, Lakshan Sandakan. However, the Stallions might be an edge ahead with a comparatively better bowling lineup.
