Sitting second with three wins out of four games, Galle Marvels find themselves in a fruitful situation as they gear up to take on Dambulla Sixers in the 12th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League on Tuesday at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla. Marvels have made a good start to their campaign as they have successfully been able to pick up the momentum required to accelerate their campaign. 

Galle Marvels are coming off a victory in their last match against Kandy Falcons. Moving into this game, Marvels would hope to upset Dambulla Sixers to register their second consecutive win. 

Dambulla Sixers, on the other hand, are in a difficult situation, having lost three of their last four games. They have only been able to get over the line in one game.

Dambulla Sixers probable XI: Kusal Perera, Reeza Hendricks, Lahiru Udara (wk), Nuwanidu Fernando, Mark Chapman, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mohammad Nabi (c), Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Mustafizur Rahman, Nuwan Pradeep
