Dambulla Aura (DA) will battle against Colombo Strikers (CS) in the sixteenth match of Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Saturday (August 12). DA emerged victorious in their previous encounter against Galle Titans (GT), while CS suffered a setback at the hands of Jaffna Kings (JK).
Avishka Fernando was the standout performer for DA in their match against GT. The opening batter hammered a match-winning 70 runs off 49 balls to guide his team to victory in the contest. On the other hand, despite Pathum Nissanka‘s resilient 36 runs off 35 deliveries and Naseem Shah’s two wickets, the Colombo-based team couldn’t pull off a win against GT.
DA currently sits at the top of the LPL 2023 points table and will look to strengthen their position further. Meanwhile, CS are on fourth place and will be determined to bounce back in the tournament.
