KW vs GG LPL 2021 Match Preview:
Kandy Warriors will lock horns with Galle Gladiators in the 5th match of the Lanka Premier League 2021, at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Tuesday.
The Warriors, led by Angelo Perera, didn’t make the best of starts to their campaign in the tournament. On Monday, the Dambulla Giants defeated them by 20 runs. After being put in to field first, their bowlers floundered big time as the Giants scored 190 for seven.
Lahiru Kumara picked up three wickets but Phil Salt’s 27-ball 64 blew away the Warriors. Rovman Powell scored 42 off 21 in the run-chase with one four and four sixes but his effort went in vain. Sachindu Colombage also made 27 but couldn’t take his team over the line.
The Gladiators, led by Bhanuka Rajapaksha, didn’t start on a happy note. On Monday, the Colombo Stars defeated them by four wickets. After opting to bat first, the Gladiators huffed and puffed to 116 for eight in 20 overs. Ben Dunk scored 38 off 25 with four fours and one six.
The Stars almost made a meal of what looked like a simple run-chase to start with. Nuwan Thushara and Pulina Tharanga picked up two wickets apiece but their efforts couldn’t take the Gladiators home. The Stars chased the target down in 17.3 overs with 15 balls to spare.

Top Picks for KW vs GG LPL 2021 Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
KW
Hard-hitting middle-order batting all-rounder Rovman Powell is off to a very good start to the tournament as he starred with a 21-ball 42 and also took one wicket. His ability to score runs at a faster rate makes him a top pick.
Right-arm pacer Lahiru Kumara was the pick of the bowlers for the Warriors in the opening game against the Giants. He bagged three wickets in that match.
Pacer Al-Amin Hossain was slightly expensive but he did pick up two wickets in the opening game against the Giants. For 8.5 credits, he is a decent budget pick.
GG
Bhanuka Rajapaksa was the top scorer for GG in the last match as he scored 56 runs at a strike rate of 180.64. He hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in the knock.
Although Samit Patel had a quiet game yesterday against the Stars, he has been the go-to bowler for the Gladiators with the new ball. He has come up with 56 runs and three wickets so far.
Experienced opener Danushka Gunathilaka is due for a big performance and it is just a matter of time before he gets back to his best. Watch out for him in this fixture.
Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez is a must-have pick in the fantasy team for this match. He is off to a decent start to this tournament. So far, Hafeez has contributed 23 runs and three wickets.
16-year-old left-arm china-man Noor Ahmad has troubled the batters in both the games. He has taken two wickets in two games so far.
