OoGalle Titans and B-Love Kandy lock horns in Qualifier 2 of the LPL 2023 on Saturday, August 19, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The Titans, led by Dasun Shanaka, made an incredible comeback to finish second in the points table after being in danger of getting knocked out. However, they stuttered against the Dambulla Aura in Qualifier 1, losing by six wickets.

After being put in to bat first, the Titans were bowled out for 146 in 20 overs. Opening batter Lasith Croospulle scored 80 off 61 with seven fours but did not get support from others. The Aura chased down the target with two deliveries to spare.

Kandy, meanwhile, lost two straight games at the end of the league stage. However, they were back to their very best in the Eliminator against Thisara Perera's Jaffna Kings. They won by 61 runs, stamping their authority on the opposition.

Once again, captain Wanindu Hasaranga led from the front and won the Player of the Match award. He scored 19 off 11 balls with two sixes and finished with unreal figures of 3.2-0-9-6 as Kandy bowled out the Kings for 127 in 17.2 overs.
