Jaffna Stallions won the toss and elected to bat first against Galle Gladiators in the final of the Lanka Premier League 2020.
Gladiators will look to complete their remarkable turnaround tonight when they face the Stallions in the inaugural Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2020 final at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota.
Not too long ago, Galle were rooted to the bottom of the points table, having lost each of their first five matches and six of their first seven matches.
However, they managed to sneak back in winning both of their final two round-robin matches before edging out the injury-hit Colombo Kings in the semi-final.
They now face a Jaffna side they lost out both their matches to earlier in the tournament quite comfortably.
Galle Gladiators XI: Danushka Gunathilaka, Ahsan Ali, Hazratullah Zazai, Azam Khan (wk), Bhanuka Rajapaksa (capt), Sahan Arachchige, Shehan Jayasuriya, Dhananjaya Lakshan, Mohammad Amir, Lakshan Sandakan, Nuwan Thushara.
Jaffna Stallions XI: Avishka Fernando, Johnson Charles (wk), Charith Asalanka, Shoaib Malik, Thisara Perera (capt), Chaturanga de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dhananjaya de Silva, Suranga Lakmal, Usman Shinwari, Duanne Olivier.
