The Dambulla Aura and the Jaffna Kings will face each other in the fourth match of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Tuesday, August 1. The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will play host to this match.
Led by Kusal Mendis, the Aura did not get off to the best of starts in their campaign. They went down in their opening game after losing to the Galle Titans, led by national captain Dasun Shanaka.
The match went right down to the Super Over where the Dambulla Aura set up a target of 10 runs. Binura Fernando failed to hold his nerve as Bhanuka Rajapaksa struck a four and a six to win it for his side.
The Jaffna Kings, led by Thisara Perera, on the other hand, started their journey in an emphatic manner. They defeated Niroshan Dickwella’s Colombo Strikers by 21 runs in the opening match of the tournament.
Batting first, the Kings posted 174 runs, riding on a half-century from Towhid Hridoy. The Kings successfully defended the target, bowling out the Kings for 152 in 19.4 overs. Skipper Dickwella scored 58 runs off 34 balls, including nine fours and one six, but his efforts went in vain.
