The Jaffna Kings have been an indomitable presence in the tournament, and defeated three of their four opponents in both home and away fixtures. However, what makes the first qualifier on Sunday interesting is the fact that they are yet to defeat the Galle Gladiators, who managed to do a double against Kings.
Before their defeat on Friday, the Kings had won 6 games on the trot and are expected to bring the same momentum into this fixture. The Gladiators have turned up when it mattered the most throughout this tournament, and they will not make the Kings’ life easy.

The weather conditions in Hambantota are not very good on Sunday morning, with some showers predicted, but no threat is expected for the game. The temperatures will remain between 24-28, making it a pleasant environment for a game of cricket.
There might be decent purchase off the track for spinners, and teams batting first must make in excess of 160 to stand a chance of winning the game.
There is very little separating these two units at this stage of the tournament, and with a place in the finale at stake, both sides will go hell for leather at each other. The suggestion for fantasy managers will be to trust individual talents for this fixture.
Samit Patel: The most productive fantasy player of the tournament, Samit Patel is inching closer towards 600 fantasy points this season and is the leading wicket-taker with 15 scalps in 8 games. He is a numero uno choice for captaincy in small leagues.
Kusal Mendis: Having scored 203 runs at a strike rate of 146 in this tournament, Mendis has proven his knack to provide big knocks when it matters, hence making him a decent choice for captaincy in mega leagues.
Wanindu Hasaranga: With Hasaranga, you can always expect a decent number of points for fantasy leagues and he is a top pick for vice-captaincy in this fixture.
Noor Ahmad: The teenage left-arm leggie has made a stellar impression this season and is expected to add to his 8-wicket tally in this game, making him a good option to have at 8.5 credits.
Jayden Seales: The Caribbean bowler is a brilliant option to have on your side and costs just 8.5 credits. He picked up 11 wickets in 5 games this tournament.
Isuru Udana: A T20 specialist who is capable of bowling brilliant death overs, Udana is a worthy option at just 8.5 credits for your fantasy team.
