The Dambulla Aura and the Galle Titans will lock horns in Qualifier 1 of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Thursday, August 17. The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will play host to this match.

The Titans will be brimming with confidence after putting their A-game forward against the Colombo Strikers on Tuesday to make it to the top two. They won the match with 11.3 overs to spare after bowling the opposition out for 74.

At one point in time, the Galle Titans found themselves in all sorts of trouble. They lost four matches in a row and were on the verge of getting knocked out of the competition but bounced back to put their campaign back on track.

The Dambulla Aura, on the other hand, finished on top of the table in the league stage with 12 points and a net run rate of +0.793, thanks to six wins out of eight matches. They were also the first team to book a berth in the Qualifier 1.

The Aura are currently on a five-match winning streak. They lost two of their first three matches to start their campaign, but once they found their rhythm, it has been tough to stop them.
