LPL 2022: Match 7, CS vs GG Match Prediction- Who will win today's LPL match between CS vs GG?

Two-time finalists Galle Gladiators had a terrible start to the tournament as the Kusal Mendis-led side failed to win any of their first two matches. The Colombo Stars on the other hand lost their first match against Kandy Falcons but managed to get a win against Dambulla Aura in their previous match. With that, the Angelo Matthews-led side are third in the points table while the Gladiators are at the bottom of the table.

Thus, to stay alive in the competition, Kusal Mendis and his men desperately need a win when they face the Colombo Stars on Sunday, December 11 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. In their previous match, their batting completely flopped as none of the batters stepped up. Movin Subasingha (40) and Imad Wasim (34) tried their level best but in the end, 121 was never enough against the quality batting line-up of Kandy Falcons. Their bowling too needs a massive improvement.

Speaking of the Colombo Stars, wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella smashed a brilliant half-century in the previous match. Ravi Bopara and Dinesh Chandimal did well in the end but moving further, the middle-order batters will need to take more responsibility. With the ball, Matthews has multiple options as eight of his players are capable with the ball. However, consistency is something that lacks at the moment.
