The Galle Gladiators and the Kandy Warriors are set to cross swords in Match No.10 of the Lanka Premier League 2021 on Saturday, December 11. The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the match.
The Gladiators, led by Bhanuka Rajapaksha, are sitting pretty on top of the points table with five points from four matches. Their net run rate of 0.762 is also the best among the participating teams in the tournament. Their previous game against the Dambulla Giants was called off due to rain.
After being put in to field first, the Gladiators bowlers did a reasonable job as the Giants scored 159 for seven. Nuwan Thushara and Noor Ahmad picked up two wickets apiece. Kusal Mendis scored an unbeaten five-ball 15 with one four and a six before the heavens opened up.
The Warriors, led by Angelo Perera, are in dire straits, having lost all three of their matches in the championship. Their net run rate of -0.842 is also the worst among the teams in the tournament. On Wednesday, December 8, the Jaffna Kings beat them by 14 runs – DLS Method.
In a rain-curtailed game, the Kings smashed 181 for six in 14 overs. Barring Shiraz Ahmed, who got three wickets, the other Warriors’ bowlers looked rusty. Rovman Powell smashed 61 off 19 with two fours and seven sixes but failed to take his team over the finishing line.
