Topmost Picks for CS vs GT Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Colombo Strikers

• Babar Azam – Babar has been the team’s best batter so far and it does not come as a surprise. Babar scored 59 in the second game and looked good for his 41 in the last game before being run out.
• Matheesha Pathirana – Pathirana has taken two back-to-back 3 wickets hauls in last two games and has looked the most lethal Colombo bowler. 

Top Picks – Galle Titans

• Tim Seifert- Tim Seifert scored 74 against Kandy. The batter has been going through a purple patch and even though he did fail in the last game, he continues to be the team’s best batter.
• Tabraiz Shami – The left-arm spinner is one of the best players in this format of the game and will be a challenge for teams owing to his variations. Shamsi will be a big asset for Galle in the LPL 2023 tournament.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for CS vs GT Dream11 Team:
