The Titans are now ranked third in the table with two points and a net run rate (NRR) of 0.000, and Dasun Shanaka serves as their captain. On Monday, July 31, the Dambulla Aura were defeated in an exciting encounter that ended in a Super Over.
The two teams tied on 180 points after 40 overs, hence there was no difference between them. However, Binura Fernando was attacked by Bhanuka Rajapaksa, which enabled the Titans to overtake 10 in the one-over eliminator.
On the other hand, Kandy, led by Wanindu Hasaranga, are positioned at the bottom of the table with an NRR of -1.350. They did not have the best of beginnings in the Lanka Premier League this season, falling to the Colombo Strikers by a score of 27 runs.
Kandy was required to chase down 158 runs, but they could only manage 130 runs while losing eight wickets. Many of their hitters reached the double digits, but none of them were able to capitalize on their starts.
