Galle Gallants face Colombo Kaps in Qualifier 2 of Lanka Premier League 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, with a place in the final at stake.
Galle are captained by Dasun Shanaka and have Sam Harper as wicketkeeper. Their batting has Thomas Fraser Rogers, Charith Asalanka, Dinura Kalupahana and Sahan Arachchige, while Mohammad Nawaz, Tharindu Ratnayake, Akif Javed, Sachindu Colombage and Eshan Malinga make up the bowling.
Colombo Kaps are led by Kamindu Mendis, with Sadeera Samarawickrama keeping wicket. Rubin Hermann, Ben McDermott, James Neesham and Janith Liyanage provide batting strength, and Wanuja Sahan, Malsha Tharupathi, Milan Priyanath Rathnayake, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Binura Fernando form the attack.
Conditions could matter. Humid weather should help the seamers early, spinners may grow in importance as the pitch slows, and evening showers and dew could affect the second innings, so captains are likely to bowl first. Teams that keep wickets for the last five overs should post strong totals, and we favour Colombo Kaps in this high-pressure knockout.
