SLRE vs SLGY Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for SLC Invitational T20 League 2022, Match 1

SLC Reds (SLRE) will take on SLC Greys (SLGY) in the opening match of the SLC Invitational T20 League 2022 at the R. Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on Monday, August 8.

The SLC Invitational T20 is being organized to replace the Lankan Premier League, which was set to be held this month. The tournament was postponed due to the political and economic turmoil gripping the country. As a result, most Sri Lankan internationals as well as uncapped players will be participating in the SLC Invitational T20 event, which will last a week.

While Kusal Mendis is captaining the SLC Reds, SLC Greys are being led by Ashan Priyanjan. The SLC Reds are the defending champions after defeating SLC Greys in the final by 42 runs last year.
