CJ vs GM Probable Winners:

Both teams must be giving their all to win this game. The start of this league is crucial to gain momentum. The bowling assault must get its act together and keep scoring under control. The Galle Marvels possess momentum and conviction on their side and are early favorites. Considering the team combination, Galle Marvels is expected to win this match.

The Jaguars are on the bottom of the table but more due to a lack of cricket rather than poor cricket. They were waiting to get moving in the tournament as well and will be hoping the weather allows them time on the field.

CJ vs GM Weather Report

Clear weather and a nice evening is expected for the game.

CJ vs GM Pitch Report

Small boundaries, dew likely in the later stages and flat pitches mean only one thing. Batters are likely to have a lot of fun and batting second could be a better choice.

CJ vs GM Predicted Playing XI

CJ Playing XI

Najibullah Zadran, Asif Ali, Jewel Andrew, Kamindu Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Aamer Jamal, Ramesh Mendis, Asitha Fernando, Akila Dhananjaya, Dilshan Madhushanka, Matheesha Pathirana

GM Playing XI

Alex Hales, Andre Fletcher, Shakib al Hasan, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Sadisha Rajapaksha, Kesrick Williams, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Luke Wood, Prabath Jayasuriya, Sandun Weerakkody

CJ vs GM Key Players

Prabath Jayasuriya

Prabath Jayasuriya recently proved that he can succeed in Tests overseas. He now has to prove he can do so in white-ball cricket. The challenge though would be to do so without losing his technique in red-ball cricket.

Matheesha Pathirana

Thusara's slinging action makes him an asset in short form cricket and he is someone with a good amount of control. While he may be lower on pace he has the accuracy to make up for it.
