DV vs GG Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Lanka Premier League Match - Dec 5th, 2020
Match 12 of the Lanka Premier League has the Galle Gladiators taking on Dambulla Viiking at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Saturday.
The Gladiators have been woeful this season with no wins in four games. They are yet to come up with a complete performance. Also, with their captain Shahid Afridi going back home, the Gladiators are up against the wall, being at the bottom of the points table.
Their opponents, Dambulla Viiking are all set for a playoff place. Led by Dasun Shanaka, the Viiking have won three out of their four games so far with Samit Patel standing out with both the bat and the ball. Veteran spinner Malinda Pushpakumara has also done well with the ball, helping the Viiking occupy a lofty position in the points table.
The Viiking are undoubtedly the clear favourites for this game. But the Gladiators have enough in the tank to spring a surprise with Mohd Amir and Bhanuka Rajapaksa itching to make amends for their no-show so far. With two valuable points up for grabs, we should be in for a good game of cricket to kickstart a double-header Saturday in the Lanka Premier League 2020.

Pitch Report
A competitive clash between bat and ball beckons with the pitch slowing down a touch over the course of the tournament. The spinners have a more significant say in the outcome of the game with some turn on offer. While the pacers have also enjoyed some success, the batsmen have been able to play their natural game without much fuss. With this being an evening fixture, both teams will look to bat first in what promises to be a good game of T20 cricket.
