Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Galle leads 3-2.
In T20Is here, 5 out of 7 games were won batting first.
Kusal Mendis – 327 runs in 10 games in LPL 2021.
Maheesh Theekshana – 16 wickets in 10 games last season.

Jaffna Kings

There are some big names in the Jaffna squad for LPL 2022 and you should surely pick the likes of Thisara Perera and Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik but we’re going to help you pick some of the lesser known stars. 19-year old Dunith Wellalage scored 31* in a recent ODI against Afghanistan and this youngster is a must in your JK vs GG Dream11 team because he bowls too, recently picking an 8-fer for Colts in an FC game.

Talking about all-round contributors, Dhananjaya de Silva is an important part of the Sri Lanka national squad and with an uncanny ability to pick wickets along with his main skill of scoring runs, he’s even worth picking as your JK vs GG fantasy team captain or vice-captain. Tom Kohler-Cadmore is coming into this tournament after a trophy winning stint with Deccan Gladiators at Abu Dhabi T10 2022, and he’s in prime form as well.

Galle Gladiators

While this team seems weak on paper for LPL 2022, captain Kusal Mendis comes into the tournament on the back of some good form that e displayed at the 2022 T20 World Cup, so he’s someone we won’t leave out, while the only other recognised Sri Lanka batter is keeper, Kusal Perera. Lakshan Sandakan has two 3-fers and two 4-fers in his last 5 FC games which means he’s likely to be among the wickets this season.

From the overseas lot, there’s Mohammad Hasnain who has been brilliant in franchise cricket of later, with some good spells in the BBL 2021/22 last year and a match-winning 2-fer in the recent final of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2022. We’re adding him to our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) JK vs GG fantasy team along with middle-order batter Iftikhar Ahmed who also had a good T20 World Cup for Pakistan.
