Galle Titans and B-Love Kandy will be vying to secure a place in the final when they face off in the second Qualifier of the Lanka Premier League 2023.
The winner of the match will meet Dambulla Aura, who have already booked their ticket to the summit clash by winning the Qualifier 1.
The knockout game between Galle and Kandy will be held at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on August 19 and the on-field proceedings begin at 7:30 PM IST.
Galle and Kandy both won four out of their eight group-league fixtures, finishing second and third in the points table respectively.
Titans squared off against top-placed Dambulla Aura in the first qualifier where they suffered a disappointing six-wicket defeat.
Due to a below-par performance from their batters, Galle managed just 146 runs, which their opponents chased down with ease. Meanwhile, B-Love Kandy were in a must-win situation when they took on Jaffna Kings in the Eliminator.
Kandy outclassed Joffna in every department, registering a huge 61-run victory.
They will hope to continue the winning run till the end of the campaign to secure the silverware.
