Colombo Strikers (CS) will battle against Galle Titans (GT) in the tenth match of Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023 at the R Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Monday (August 7). Both CS and GT lost their previous encounters against Dambulla Aura (DA) and Jaffna Kings (JK), respectively.
Nuwanidu Fernando impressed with the bat for the Colombo-based side in their match against DA. He smashed brilliant 56 runs off 39 balls for his team. However, CS still failed to chase the set target and suffered a 10 runs loss in the contest. On the other hand, Shakib al Hasan bagged two wickets for GT against JK.
