Galle Marvels kicked off their campaign with a convincing victory over Kandy Bolts. Their next two matches were abandoned due to rain, but it still gave them two crucial points on the board.
Galle’s batting lineup is packed with power hitters, including Alex Hales, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Andre Fletcher, all capable of turning the game in their team’s favor. Fletcher made a strong impact in the first game against Kandy, smashing an unbeaten 41 off 21 balls to guide Galle to a comfortable chase of 101.
Niroshan Dickwella and Shakib Al Hasan add depth and steadiness to the batting order.
Binura Fernando will be key on the bowling side, especially after his outstanding spell of 3-9 in just 2 overs in the last match. Luke Wood, Maheesh Theekshana, and Shakib Al Hasan add variety and balance to the bowling attack, making it a well-rounded unit.

Jaffna Titans have clearly been the standout team in this tournament. They kicked things off by winning their first two games with ease, though their third game got washed out by rain.
Charith Asalanka has been the standout batsman for Jaffna, blasting 68 runs across two innings with a strike rate of 212.
Tom Kohler-Core and Tom Abell have also played their parts effectively. Kusal Mendis, opening the batting, often gives the innings a lively start.
On the bowling front, Jaffna hasn't disappointed either, boasting a variety of bowlers capable of taking wickets. Treveen Mathew tops the charts with 7 wickets in two innings, maintaining an economy rate of 7. Dwaine Pretorius and Pramod Madushan are solid backups, each bringing their own strengths to the table. Jaffna might bring in Mohammad Amir for this game as a wicket-taking option.

The pitch at Pallekele seems set to favor the batsmen right from the start of the tournament. While it initially helps the seam bowlers, the wicket soon settles down, providing a good, true bounce for batting. One side of the ground has shorter boundaries, which can pose challenges for bowlers and encourage batters to be more aggressive. Spinners might get a bit of turn as the game goes on, but pace bowlers will need to hit their spots to keep the runs down.
The weather will be mostly cloudy in the evening. Some rain is forecast in the afternoon, which could delay the start of the game.

Trends suggest that the team batting first needs to aim for a score of about 130-140 runs to remain competitive.
In the Lanka T10 Super League so far, the team batting second has come out on top in two of the three completed games. This trend suggests that the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium may favor the chasing team.
Galle Marvels will be looking to get their second win of the season after two washed-out games. However, Jaffna Titans have been the standout performers in the tournament up to now. They've got depth in their batting lineup, with players hitting form at the right time. Their bowling attack is well-rounded too. While this game promises to be tightly contested, Jaffna seems to have the edge and is likely to emerge victorious.
