Lanka Premier League 2023: Galle Titans vs Dambulla Aura, 2nd Match - Predicted Fantasy XI and Budget Picks

Galle Titans and Dambulla Aura will play against each other in the second game of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Monday, July 31, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Titans will be led by Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who is one of the best batters for Sri Lanka in the T20 format of the game. The left-hander and Tim Seifert are expected to play the key role for the Titans’ batting unit. Meanwhile, Shakib Al Hasan, who is one of the greatest all-rounders in white-ball cricket, is going to play an important role for the side as well. Dasun Shanaka and Ben Cutting are also available to provide much-needed strength in the middle-orders as well.

Dambulla Aura, meanwhile, have added strong players to their squad, especially in batting. Avishka Fernando recently played amazingly in the Emerging Asia Cup. Along with him, the likes of Kusal Perera and Matthew Wade are also there. Shahnawaz Dahani, meanwhile, is one of their key bowlers in the pace department and he, alongside Noor Ahmad and Dhananjaya de Silva are expected to play crucial roles for the side as well.
