Kings Take On Gladiators in LPL Opener

The Jaffna Kings and Galle Gladiators will take on each other in the opening game of LPL 2021. Last year, the Jaffna team led by Thisara Perera beat Bhanuka Rajapakse’s Galle Gladiators in the finals.

This year, the Gladiators remain as the only team to not have a name or ownership change and therefore, maintain their brand name. They will once again be led by Bhanuka Rajapakse. Thisara Perera will also captain the Jaffna team once again.

It is going to be an interesting battle between Bhanuka and Wanindu Hasaranga, the two top performers in the recently concluded Abu Dhabi T10. Wanindu was last years’s highest wicket taker in LPL. Rahmanullah Gurbaz for the Gladiators and Ben Dunk for team Jaffna are also in red hot from from the T10.

The match is to commence today at 7.30 p.m. at RPICS. Spectators are allowed at half capacity.
