The B-Love Kandy and the Jaffna Kings will lock horns with each other in Eliminator of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Thursday, August 17. The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the contest.

Led by Wanindu Hasaranga, Kandy had a quiet start to their campaign after losing two matches. But thereafter, they won four matches in a row and became favorites to finish in the top two.

However, they lost their last two matches and were toppled by the Galle Titans in the points table. They will be looking to make amends after losing to the Dambulla Aura by 20 runs in their final match of the league stage.

The Kings, led by Thisara Perera, on the other hand, are the defending champions, but have struggled thus far in the tournament. They were locked on six points with the Colombo Strikers at the end of the league stage.

But they made their way through because of a superior net run rate. They will go into the match after losing to Galle Titans by seven wickets. Prior to that, they also faced an eight-run defeat at the hands of Kandy.
