On Saturday, August 5, the B-Love Kandy and the Jaffna Kings will square off in the eighth game of the Lanka Premier League 2023. This game will be held at the Pallekele International Stadium.
Kandy is positioned at the base of the table under the leadership of Wanindu Hasaranga. They have a lot of work to do if they want to move up the competition leaderboard with only two points and a net run rate of -1.601.
However, after defeating the Dambulla Aura by seven wickets in their previous game, Kandy will be feeling confident. Due to his 2/17 in four overs, Mujeeb Ur Rahman was named Player of the Match.
On the other hand, the Strikers, led by Niroshan Dickwella, are in third position in the table with two points and a net run rate of +0.150 after winning one of their two games thus far in the competition.
The Strikers rebounded with a 27-run victory over B-Love Kandy after dropping their first game to Jaffna Kings. After scoring his first LPL fifty, Babar Azam was named the Player of the Match.
