Lanka Premier League 2023: Match 2, Galle Titans vs Dambulla Aura: Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Galle Titans and Dambulla Aura lock horns in the second game of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Monday, July 31, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The Titans will be captained by Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who has become a dependable batter for Sri Lanka in the shortest format of the game. The left-hander and Tim Seifert are key parts of the Titans’ batting unit.

Shakib Al Hasan is one of the greatest all-rounders in white-ball cricket, and his role is going to hold a lot of importance. Dasun Shanaka and Ben Cutting can also use the long handle to good effect and are effective bowling options, too.

The Aura, meanwhile, have some strong players especially in batting. Avishka Fernando recently played brilliantly in the Emerging Asia Cup. The likes of Kusal Perera and Matthew Wade can also do a lot of damage.

Shahnawaz Dahani is one of their key bowlers in the pace attack. Noor Ahmad has come up the ranks in the last 12 months and is expected to spin a web around batters. The focus will also be on the likes of Dhananjaya de Silva.
