Sri Lanka kicks off another T10 league. Their national side has been pretty solid in recent months and this tournament could well be the way for them to kick start improvements to their death bowling and T20 batting, while unearthing some new names for the other formats.

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.

GM vs KB 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.

Dinesh Chandimal

Chandimal recently made a return to the shortest format but is yet to get again. There is some competition for spots and how he battles now will determine his future in white-ball cricket.

The pitch is ideal for batting because the ball comes easily onto the bat. Bowlers have a difficult time here, and the side that bats first must keep a target score of 130 runs in mind, as the average first-innings score is 123.

Topmost Picks for KB vs GM Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Galle Marvels

• Bhanuka Rajapaksa –  Bhanuka Rajapaksa, a player with a lot of power, would prefer shorter boundaries.
• Maheesh Theekshana – Maheesh Theekshana had a promising start to his career. His mystery with the ball could be difficult to pick in a tournament where batters frequently look to play their shots with a lot of freedom.

Top Picks – Kandy Bolts

• Pathum Nissanka – The opener, Pathum Nissanka, has been in good form recently, and he will be looking to keep playing in a format that suits him.
• Thisara Perera –  Thisara Perera's style of play is very useful in a format where bowlers have very little opportunity. Perera, a lower-order hitter and a handy bowler, will be a crucial part of the Indian line-up, promising a lot of control for his side.

KB vs GM Probable Winners:

It will be an exciting match because both teams want to get off to an excellent start in the tournament. Kandy Bolts has a strong batting lineup, but they lack bowling strength. Galle Marvels cover all bases, including a skilled bowling attack, giving them an advantage. Considering the team combination, Galle Marvels is expected to win this match.
