Preview:

Dambulla and Galle will square off each other in the 5th match of the Sri Lankan NSL One Day 2021/22 on Friday. Yet another batting collapse hurt Dambulla as they lost to Colombo in their second fixture by 7 wickets and registered their second consecutive loss in this tournament. They need to show more intent and bat long as possible in the coming matches.

In a hard-fought battle, Galle went on to beat Colombo by 3 wickets in the inaugural match of the competition and got crucial 4 points on the table. They need to capitalize on the out-of-touch Dambulla and play their best cricket.
