Galle Gladiators, after a slow start, have surprised the spectators by advancing to the final of inaugural Lanka Premier League (LPL) after beating tournament favorites Colombo Kings by two wickets in the first semi final on Sunday.
Starting the tournament with a rather disappointing streak of five successive losses, Gladiators surprised everyone when they beat the table-toppers in Hambantota
Batting first, after losing the toss, Colombo put up an average total of 150 runs with a terrific innings by Daniel-Bell Drummond. The batsman with 70 to his name scored almost half of the team’s total alone.
