JK vs GG Dream11 Prediction: The Qualifier 1 of the Lanka Premier League T20 2021 season is scheduled to be contested between the Jaffna Kings and the Galle Gladiators at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota on 19 December (Sunday). Both these sides are coming into this game after performing impressively well in their last few T20 outings. The defending champions Jaffna Kings once again performed sensationally well throughout the league stage to finish at the top position on the table with as many as 6 wins from 8 matches. On the other hand, Galle Gladiators are very much high on confidence after having defeated the Jaffna Kings twice this season so far and they have 4 wins in 8 games occupying the second slot. However, it will now be really important for both these teams to play their best brand of cricket as the winner of this game will directly qualify for the finals.

The pitch at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium will once again have great assistance for the batters. There will be enough help for the spinners and the pace bowlers will have to bowl more slower deliveries to be successful. The ball is expected to come nicely onto the bat in these batting-friendly conditions. However, batting first will be a good option on this track.
