Galle Gladiators vs Kandy Falcons Preview

  • The Galle Gladiators have dropped 2 of their past 5 Lanka Premier League contests.
  • Kandy Falcons have won just two of their last five Lanka Premier League games.
  • Both players split the victory in their head-to-head matchup because they each won two of the four games.

 

At the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, the Kandy Falcons and the Galle Gladiators will square off. On Wednesday, December 7, the fourth game of the 2022 Lanka Premier League begins at 19:30 local time.

Galle Gladiators’ season got off to a poor start on Tuesday as Jaffna Kings defeated them by 24 runs. The Gladiators fell short despite a strong opening partnership of 58 when needing 138 to win, and they will need to play better in this match.

Every club hopes to get off to a strong start in a competition, but Kandy Falcons surpassed all expectations on Tuesday by thrashing Colombo Stars by 109 runs. Although it will be challenging for them to match that performance in this game, the Falcons will be fired up.

Galle Gladiators Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The Galle Gladiators’ bowling attack will make them very happy. In addition to being frugal, the bowlers also took wickets at key moments, preventing the opposition from scoring runs freely and so slowing the flow of runs. After just one game, they are unlikely to alter their lineup.
