GALLE MARVELS FORM: MARVELS BOAST HEAD-TO-HEAD EDGE
Of the three games contested between Galle and their opponents in this final, the Marvels have won two of those matches, including the most recent one, which saw them defeat Jaffna by seven wickets in the first play-off qualifier.
LAST THREE: WLW
JAFFNA KINGS FORM: KINGS ON THE BACK OF MEMORABLE TRIUMPH
Jaffna Kings will have taken huge confidence and belief from bouncing back from their loss in that first qualifier and holding their nerve in an absolute classic less than 24 hours ago against Kandy Falcons, winning by just one run.
LAST THREE: WLL
GALLE MARVELS BETTING ANALYSIS
Should any bowling markets be available here, then bettors should focus on Isuru Udana for Galle Marvels. The left-arm pacer has accumulated 12 wickets across this edition of the Lanka Premier League and his wicket-taking threat will be vital to his team’s chances of final success. Consider backing Udana to claim 2+ wickets if the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market is open.
In Tim Seifert and Alex Hales, Galle have two overseas batters with explosive power and capability to take this game away from the Kings and such power could prove lucrative from a betting perspective. Both offer good value to top score for Galle Marvels in this encounter.
JAFFNA KINGS BETTING ANALYSIS
Kusal Mendis was the hero for Jaffna Kings yesterday, his brilliant and brutal 105 not out from 54 balls parachuting Jaffna to an eventual winning total of 187/7 with every run proving to be vital. Mendis showed all of his international class and in a big final, he could be the one to step up again for the Kings. Back him to finish as his side’s top batter for the second consecutive fixture.
Jaffna can also call upon Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando, both of whom have starred throughout the competition with the bat, scoring over 300 runs each. Stakes on the pair to each accrue 20+ runs via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market is a play well worth making.
GALLE MARVELS VS JAFFNA KINGS EXPERT PREDICTION
We’ve spoken plenty of times in these previews about momentum that play-off wins can bring you, but the nature of Jaffna Kings’ thrilling triumph was exhausting to watch, so goodness knows what it was like to play in. It won’t be easy for the Kings to raise their intensity again with such a short turnaround for such a big final.
Galle Marvels have had Jaffna’s number across the tournament so far and know how to get the better of them. They looked so good in that first qualifier and all the ingredients are in place for them to be the last ones standing and latest champions of the Lanka Premier League.
