The Lanka Premier League resumes after a two-day break, Dambulla Aura will lock horns with Galle Titans on Friday at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Aura are comfortably placed in the second position with six points, while the Titans languish at the bottom. Kusal Mendis-led Dambulla Aura are on a two-match winning streak and will look to cash in on their new-found momentum. Apart from leading the side, Mendis has also been the backbone of the batting, apart from Sadeera Samarawickrama and Dhananjaya de Silva, who have scored heavily for the franchise so far.

The inclusion of Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali into the XI has made a drastic change, bringing variation into the bowling, which Binura Fernando spearheads.On the other hand, Galle Titans, captained by Dasun Shanaka, have notched up a hattrick of defeats and find themselves at the bottom. Tim Seifert and Shevon Daniel have managed to keep the side afloat with their explosive batting, while others have failed to live up to the expectations. Bowling is the stronger suit of the Titans, with Shakib Al Hasan, Tabraiz Shamsi and Kasun Rajitha firing on all cylinders. Any further slip-ups will make it challenging for the Galle franchise to climb up the ladder and qualify, having already played five matches.
