GM vs JK Probable Winners:

Galle’s head-to-head record against Jaffna is very even, with five wins each. Both teams have players in excellent form, but Jaffna has struggled to dominate possession in recent games. Jaffna took only one wicket in their most recent match against Colombo. It could be Jaffna’s undoing, with Galle winning by a narrow margin if the toss is favorable. Considering the team combination, Galle Marvels are expected to win this match.
