Galle Titans will take on Jaffna Kings in Match 7 of the ongoing fourth edition of the Lanka Premier League (LPL 2023). After the first week of the tournament in Colombo, the action now moves to Pallekele.

Team Preview

Galle Titans

Galle Titans are currently unbeaten with wins in both the games they have played in the tournament so far. They defeated Dambulla Aura in their first game which ended with a super-over and then went on to get the better of B-Love Kandy in a one-sided affair. As a result, they are placed at the top of the points table with a maximum of four points.

Captain Dasun Shanaka must be very happy with the way his team performed in every department. He will be hoping his men continue this dominance and sustain their unbeaten streak, making it three wins in a row.

On the other hand, Jaffna Kings did win the first game of their campaign but couldn't continue their winning streak.

As a result, they are now placed second last in the league standings with two points. They had a poor outing with the bat in their last game which became the major reason behind their defeat against Dambulla.

Captain Thisara Perera will be hoping his batters have a better day in this game and help the team to bounce back into winning ways.
