Galle Titans vs B-Love Kandy Team Preview
Galle Titans
The tournament has been hot and cold for the Galle Titans. Dambulla Aura destroyed the team in Qualifier 1, and they must significantly improve their performance to have a chance.
The Galle Titans will enter the field with the same lineup as in Qualifier 1. Although the squad did lose to Dambulla Aura, we don’t notice any changes being made to the lineup for a vital knockout game.
B-Love Kandy
In the Eliminator, B-Love Kandy defeated Jaffna Kings by 61 runs to advance to the championship. In the second half of the competition, Kandy was very strong. The group’s performance has been strong. In the previous seven games, Kandy has had five victories.
The Kandy team is anticipated to remain largely unchanged for the crucial Qualifier 1. The team defeated Jaffna Kings with outstanding cricket and a commanding 61-run victory. As a member of Pakistan’s training camp for the Afghanistan series, Fakhar Zaman’s availability remains uncertain. However, he might be available to play given that the camp will be in Sri Lanka.
Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Fakhar Zaman/C De Silva, Sahan Arachchige, Kamindu Mendis, Asif Ali, Isuru Udana, Angelo Mathews, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Haris, Nuwan Pradeep

R.Premadasa Stadium
Since chasing is difficult in Colombo, especially because both teams have a spin-heavy attack, the captain who wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first.
The temperature will be in the mid-20s, and the weather will be pleasant. The game is unlikely to be impacted by rain.
The ball is not coming on, and the wicket has lost all velocity. It’s difficult to score runs, especially against spinners. It may be difficult to surpass 150 right now.
