Galle Titans (GT) will square off against B-Love Kandy (BLK) in the fifth match of Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday (August 1). GT won their previous fixture against Dambulla Aura (DA) in a super-over thriller, while BLK suffered a defeat against Colombo Strikers (CS) in their last match.
Dasun Shanaka was the standout performer for GT in their win over DA. Shanaka hammered quickfire 42 runs off 21 balls and scalped three wickets in the second innings for his team. On the other hand, despite Isuru Udana‘s three scalps, BLK couldn’t pull off the run chase against CS in their previous encounter.
GT will look to carry the momentum from the last game. Meanwhile, BLK will eye their maiden win in the event.
