The Lanka Premier League after its 18 days and 23 matches of enthralling cricket has now reached its climax with one summit clash to decide the champions of the second season of the premier T20 tournament of Sri Lanka. Incidentally, the final of this season will also be contested between the same teams which contested the final last season.
The teams from Galle and Jaffna would be once again pitched up against each other for the final honours. In the playoffs, while Galle beat Jaffna in Qualifier 1 to get directly to the fina, the team from North Sri Lanka had to get past Dmabulla Giants in the second qualifier to make its place in the final after losing the first qualifier.
Match Number- Final
Date and Time: December 23rd, 2021, 07:30 pm IST
Venue: Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota Sri Lanka
Broadcast and Live Stream: Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV
As has been seen throughout the Playoffs, the pitches at the stadium have been true especially in the last game, the ball was coming onto the bat very nicely. So it is expected to remain true and help in getting a high scoring finale.
The weather will remain cloudy throughout the evening with maybe a few passing showers expected. Hence the game might not be disturbed as much, but it will surely prompt the team winning the toss to field first.
