Colombo Strikers and Jaffna Kings will lock horns in Match No. 13 of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Tuesday, August 8. The Pallekele International Stadium will play host to this match.

The Strikers, led by Niroshan Dickwella, have four points and a net run rate of -0.020 thanks to wins in two out of four matches. They will go into the match after beating Galle Titans by seven wickets.

Babar Azam became the Player of the Match after he scored his 10th T20 hundred in his career. He scored 104 runs off 59 balls with eight fours and five sixes, helping his team chase down 189 with a ball to spare.

The Kings, led by Thisara Perera, have struggled in the tournament until now. Having won only two out of five matches, the Kings cannot afford to let complacency sneak in for the rest of the championship.
