Galle Marvels have done a good job by selecting some of the best all-rounders from the draft. They will be under the leadership of Maheesh Theekshana and he will have Alex Hales as the top-order batsman.

Predicted Lineup: Shakib Al Hasan, Maheesh Theekshana, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Andre Fletcher, Alex Hales, Binura Fernando, Luke Wood, Prabath Jayasuriya, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Sadisha Rajapaksa
The two teams are evenly matched and we expect an absolute thriller between them. However, Kandy Bolts might struggle with their bowling unit. They don’t have dependable full-time bowlers who can scalp wickets for the team.
Galle Marvels have done a smart job and have signed multiple all-rounders who can do the job well. They also boost a good lineup of T20 expert players on the team. We predict a win for Galle Marvels on Wednesday.
