Love Kandy and Colombo Strikers will face each other in Match No.3 of the Lanka Premier League 2023 on Monday, July 31 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The Strikers, led by Niroshan Dickwella, are placed at the bottom of the table with a net run rate of -1.050. They started their campaign by losing to Jaffna Kings by 21 runs on Sunday, July 31.

After being asked to chase down 174, the Strikers were bowled out for 152 in 19.4 overs. Barring skipper Dickwella, who scored 58 runs off 34 balls with nine fours and a six, none of their batters stepped up.

Kandy are captained by Wanindu Hasaranga, who has been one of the key players in every season of the LPL. The very experienced Dinesh Chandimal and Mohammad Haris are likely to open the batting for Kandy.

Angelo Mathews will provide solidity in the middle order while Asif Ali is expected to play handy cameos. Dushmantha Chameera and Mohammad Hasnain are most likely to lead their bowling attack.
