Topmost Picks for GT vs BLK Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Galle Titans

• Bhanuka Rajapaksa – Bhanuka Rajapaksa recently played in T10 League but struggled to get going. However, he will be more comfortable in the T20 format where he can afford to consume a few balls.
• Shakib Al Hasan – Shakib Al Hasan will be vital for the Titans owing to his all-round skills. Shakib will add a lot of strength in the middle order while his four overs will be crucial for the team.

Top Picks – B-Love Kandy

• Dinesh Chandimal – Dinesh Chandimal has historically fared well in LPL but he looked out of touch in the first game. Chandimal, however, would have got an idea about the pace and bounce of the surface and thus is likely to come good in the next match.
• Mujeeb ur Rahman – Mujeeb ur Rahman went wicketless in the first game but gave just 28 runs. It is rare to see Mujeeb end his spell without something in a wickets column, but things could change in the next game.

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

Dinesh Chandimal, Mohammad Haris, Litton Das, Lasith Croospulle, Fakhar Zaman, Shakib Al Hasan, Dasun Shanaka, Angelo Mathews, Wanindu Hasaranga, Tabraiz Shamsi(C), Nuwan Pradeep(VC)

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for GT vs BLK Dream11 Team:

Dinesh Chandimal, Mohammad Haris, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Lasith Croospulle, Asif Ali, Shakib Al Hasan(VC), Dasun Shanaka, Angelo Mathews, Wanindu Hasaranga(C), Tabraiz Shamsi, Nuwan Pradeep

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Wanindu Hasaranga, Tabraiz Shamsi

Vice-captain – Shakib Al Hasan, Nuwan Pradeep

Wicketkeeper – Dinesh Chandimal

GT vs BLK Probable Winners:

B-Love Kandy will begin as the favorite. Hasaranga’s recent form gives the team a significant advantage. The team has been consistent, with batsmen such as Dinesh Chandimal, Mohammad Haris, and Angelo Matthews performing admirably. The team has also done well with the ball, with Hasaranga destroying opponents with his lethal spells. Mujeeb, Pradeep, and Matthews have all given him their full support. Kandy are overwhelming favorites to win. Considering the team combination, B-Love Kandy are expected to win this match.
