Sitting second with three wins out of four games, Galle Marvels find themselves in a fruitful situation as they gear up to take on Dambulla Sixers in the 12th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League on Tuesday at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla. Marvels have made a good start to their campaign as they have successfully been able to pick up the momentum required to accelerate their campaign. 

Galle Marvels are coming off a victory in their last match against Kandy Falcons. Moving into this game, Marvels would hope to upset Dambulla Sixers to register their second consecutive win. 

Dambulla Sixers, on the other hand, are in a difficult situation, having lost three of their last four games. They have only been able to get over the line in one game. A victory for Dambulla Sixers is the need of the hour. They would expect their players to step up and contribute to team’s victory. Dambulla Sixers, however, won their last match, marking their first victory of the tournament. They beat Colombo Strikers in their last game. 

Dambulla Sixers probable XI: Kusal Perera, Reeza Hendricks, Lahiru Udara (wk), Nuwanidu Fernando, Mark Chapman, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mohammad Nabi (c), Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Mustafizur Rahman, Nuwan Pradeep

Galle Marvels probable XI: Niroshan Dickwella (c&wk), Alex Hales, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Tim Seifert, Janith Liyanage, Sahan Arachchige, Dwaine Pretorius, Isuru Udana, Kavindu Nadeeshan, Maheesh Theekshana, Zahoor Khan
