This is going to be the second encounter for the Marvels, who got their LPL 2024 campaign underway with a match against Jaffna Kings on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Colombo Strikers are also going to be in action for the second time in this edition of the cash-rich league after playing against Kandy Falcons on Tuesday.
Galle are led by flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella, with Graham Ford being the head coach. Meanwhile, the Strikers have all-rounder Thisara Perera at the helm and the head coach is Carl Crowe. Last year, Galle finished second on the points table at the end of the round-robin phase of the league and eventually lost to B-Love Kandy in Qualifier 2. Colombo, on the other hand, finished last and would want to turn things around this year.

The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium provides some balanced surfaces where there is something for the batters as well as bowlers. Winning the toss and bowling first could be the better option at this venue. If there is dew, the chasing team will be in an advantageous position. Spinners have a different role in the 2nd innings bowling.
