Dambulla Aura and Galle Titans are set to clash in the Qualifier 1 of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on August 17 at R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo. Dambulla, riding a wave of success, clinched the top spot in the league stage. Their dominance is evident in their five consecutive victories, setting the tone for this crucial encounter.

Their well-balanced squad showcased its mettle by posting a competitive 162.7 against Kandy in the last match, and then defending it by keeping their opponents for 142. Avishka Fernando and Sadeera Samarawickrama’s consistent performances provide Dambulla with solid starts, while Ben McDermott is doing good in the middle order. In the bowling department, Dhananjaya de Silva’s standout performance and Hasan Ali’s fiery pace add strength to Dambulla’s arsenal.

Galle Titans, on the other hand, enter the Qualifier with a resounding victory over Colombo. Their impressive bowling display, spearheaded by Tabraiz Shamsi and Seekkuge Prasanna, bundled out Colombo Stars for a meager 74 runs in the last match. With Shamsi leading the bowling charts, Shakib Al Hasan’s all-around ability, and Lahiru Kumara’s pace, Galle has a formidable bowling unit.

Though missing their leading run-scorer Tim Seifert due to national duty, Litton Das and Lasith Croospulle aim to step up. Dasun Shanaka’s leadership and batting performance hold the key to Galle’s batting success.
