The Jaffna Kings have confirmed their top spot in the tournament after registering their sixth consecutive win on Thursday and will feature in Qualifier 1 on Sunday. Galle Gladiators are caught in a 3-way battle for the second position and can consider themselves favorites going by their net run-rate and the extra point they gained with a game getting washed out. A defeat here could cost them a major opportunity to make it to the final, and they will be desperate to put their best foot forward.
Upul Tharanga (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Shoaib Malik, Ashan Randika, Thisara Perera (c), Ashen Bandara, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jayden Seales, Usman Shinwari, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth
Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka, Mohammad Hafeez, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (c), Samit Patel, Isuru Udana, Mohammed Shamaaz (wk), Dhananjaya Lakshan, Noor Ahmad, Mohammad Amir, Pulina Tharanga
The conditions remain quite cloudy throughout the day. This will be a cause of concern, as the fans would not want the rain to halt play on the final day of group stages, but besides that, the temperatures will remain quite pleasant, around 25-29 degrees during game time.

Since it is the first game of the day, we can expect the track to remain quite fresh and flat for a T20 contest. A lot of runs are on cards for this fixture, and teams would perhaps want to bat first and put on a big total.
The suggestion for fantasy managers in this game would be to balance your side with picks from both sides, as Gladiators will put their best foot forward and Kings could be a little complacent. They are also the only team to beat the Jaffna Kings this tournament, and once can fancy them to do the double here.
Samit Patel: The English all-rounder has amassed over 500 fantasy points this tournament, more than any other player. He is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 13 scalps to his credit and has contributed well with the bat in the lower order as well.
Tom Cohler-Cadmore: It took some time for Cadmore to get used to the conditions, but he chipped in with a sensational 55-ball 92 in the last game and is a major contender for captaincy in mega leagues. He scored 213 runs at a strike rate of 148.
Wanindu Hasaranga: The most highly-rated T20 cricketer in Sri Lanka, Hasaranga has been decent in the tournament thus far, picking 8 wickets in 7 fixtures. He also bats a strike rate of 160, making him a good choice for vice-captaincy.
Chaturanga de Silva: The all-rounder has picked up 5 wickets and contributed sometimes with the bat, making him a very useful prospect for your fantasy team at 8.5 credits.
Jayden Seales: He missed out a few games due to injury, but Seales has struck for straight away after comeback. He has 11 wickets in just 5 games, and costs only 8.5 credits to be a part of your team.
Shoaib Malik: The veteran Pakistani has been a very pivotal presence for Jaffna King in the middle order, and has been striking at 177.42 per 100 to score 110 runs. He costs 8.5 credits.
