GT vs JK Key Players

Bhanuka Rajapaksha

There aren’t many players in Sri Lanka who can strike the ball as cleanly as Bhanuka Rajapaksha. Once in the spotlight for his fitness, Rajapaksha has shown that he can make his way through with brute force and pure power-hitting as he is a strong force in T20 Cricket.

Maheesh Theekshana

Theekshana was expensive in the first game and will be hoping to find his rhythm in the upcoming fixture. He is a key player in the side and his performance will be the deciding factor for his team through the tournament.

Match Prediction: Galle Titans Will Win the Match

GT vs JK Match Preview

In the seventh match of the Lanka Premier League, Galle Titans will face Jaffna Kings. The game will take place on August 4 at 7:00 a.m. IST at Pallekele International Stadium. So far, the Galle Titans have won both of their games. In the first game, they defeated Dambulla Aura in a super over before thrashing B-Love Kandy by 83 runs after bowling them out for 83. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shakib Al Hasan, Dasun Shanaka, and Tim Seifert have all performed admirably for the Titans. If these batters can keep it up, the Titans will be a force to be reckoned with. Jaffna Kings began the tournament with a big win over Colombo Strikers before falling to Dambulla Aura in the final game. The team’s batting collapsed, as they could only manage 129-7, and Dambulla easily achieved the target.
