Dambulla Aura (DA) have qualified for the finals of the Lanka Premier League 2023, winning six matches on the trot. Their finale opponent, B-Love Kandy, on the other hand, faced difficulties in the middle but kept their composure in the Eliminator and in the Qualifier 2 to move to the final, which is slated to take place on August 20.
Notably, the Wanindu Hasaranga-led side has been fantastic in the last couple of matches. The skipper is leading from the front while Dinesh Chandimal too played some good cricket in the second qualifier.
When it comes to Dambulla, they will be much more relaxed. Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera were fantastic in the last match. With the ball, Hayden Kerr picked up three wickets while Noor Ahmad picked up two. In spin-friendly conditions of R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Noor can prove to be extremely vital.
