N Dickwella: Don’t mind batting first, although I wanted to bowl first. One change for us. We just want to play good cricket and try to finish in the top two.
Nabi: We will bowl first, the conditions are ideal for that. It was raining since a week and the pitch is covered, it will be soft. Ibrahim is playing today. All about preparation and bowling according to the plan. We made small mistakes in the earlier games that’s why we lost.
Dambulla Sixers have won the toss and have opted to field
2:14 PM Local Time: A cloudy afternoon at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo awaits us for today’s first game in the Lanka Premier League which sees Dambulla Sixers take on Galle Marvels. Galle have already qualified for the knockouts, while Dambulla are stuck in that mid table muddle with two other teams stuck at four points. Dambulla are in a two match winning streak and will look to make it a hat-trick of wins, while Galle will look to stop them this afternoon. We’re not too far from the toss, stick around…
