GT vs JK Match Preview

In the seventh match of the Lanka Premier League, Galle Titans will face Jaffna Kings. The game will take place on August 4 at 7:00 a.m. IST at Pallekele International Stadium. So far, the Galle Titans have won both of their games. In the first game, they defeated Dambulla Aura in a super over before thrashing B-Love Kandy by 83 runs after bowling them out for 83. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shakib Al Hasan, Dasun Shanaka, and Tim Seifert have all performed admirably for the Titans. If these batters can keep it up, the Titans will be a force to be reckoned with. Jaffna Kings began the tournament with a big win over Colombo Strikers before falling to Dambulla Aura in the final game. The team’s batting collapsed, as they could only manage 129-7, and Dambulla easily achieved the target.
