LPL 2024: Match 12, DS vs GM Match Prediction – Who will win today’s LPL match between DS vs GM?

Get ready for an electrifying showdown as we dive into the thrilling DS vs GM match prediction! Galle Marvels (GM) lock horns with Dambulla Sixers (DS) in match No. 12 of the ongoing Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, on Tuesday, July 9.

Galle have had an excellent first half of the season, winning three out of their first four matches. They registered nerve-wracking wins against Jaffna Kings and Colombo Strikers to start their LPL 2024 campaign. Niroshan Dickwella’s men suffered their first defeat of the campaign in the reverse fixture against Jaffna. However, they returned to winning ways in their most recent fixture against Kandy Falcons and are currently placed at No. 2 on the points table.

Meanwhile, Dambulla’s start to LPL 2024 has been disappointing, as they lost their first three games before getting off the mark in their most recent fixture against Colombo Strikers. Dambulla lost one game against Kandy and two against Jaffna before the win versus Colombo. Mohammad Nabi and Co. are stationed at No. 5 on the points table and would look to make up lost ground. The win against Kandy must have given them some confidence and they would be eager to build on it.
