Galle Titans vs B-Love Kandy T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, LPL 2023
Galle Titans will take on B-Love Kandy in match 5 of the Lanka Premier League. The game will be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo at 7:30 PM IST.
Galle Titans started the tournament with a topsy-turvy win over Dambulla Aura. The team managed to post 180 -5, courtesy of 48 by Bhanuka Rajapaksa and 42 by Dasun Shanaka but the bowlers failed to defend the score. The match went into a Super Over where Kasun Rajitha conceded just nine runs which was easily achieved by Galle Titans.
Meanwhile, B-Love Kandy did not get off to a great start to the tournament as they suffered a 27-run loss to Colombo Strikers. The bowlers did well and stopped Strikers to 157-6 but an ordinary show by the batters saw the team score just 130-8 in 20 overs.

Galle Titans Team News & Playing 11
GT Team News
The sweet win over Dambulla would have boosted the morale of Galle Titans who are likely to play an unchanged 11 in the upcoming game.
GT Key Players
- Bhanuka Rajapaksa – Bhanuka Rajapaksa did not have a great outing in Zim Afro T10 League but the 48-run knock against Dambulla Aura will give him a huge deal of confidence for the remainder of the tournament.
- Tim Seifert – Tim Seifert could only make 14 runs in the opening game. The keeper-batter has been in great form and was one of the top performers in the Zim Afro T10 League. Seifert might be asked to open in the next game and thus has a high chance of scoring big.
- Shakib Al Hasan – Shakib Al Hasan had another great outing with the ball for Galle and picked a wicket for just 25 runs. The ace spinner is a match-winner in these conditions.
GT Team Form
Galle started the LPL 2023 with a win and the team will be pleased with their effort. The good thing about the win was that almost everyone contributed to the victory which is always a good thing.

B-Love Kandy Team News & Playing 11
BLK Team News
B-Love Kandy are being deemed as one of the favourites but their campaign started on a poor note. The team will have to script a quick turnaround to get things going in their favour.
BLK Key Players
- Dinesh Chandimal - Dinesh Chandimal has historically fared well in LPL but he looked out of touch in the first game. Chandimal, however, would have got an idea about the pace and bounce of the surface and thus is likely to come good in the next match.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Wanindu Hasaranga will have to play a huge role if Kandy have to win the maiden LPL title. Hasaranga will enjoy the conditions so he is a threat with the ball, but the team will expect the captain to contribute with the bat as well given the lack of big hitters in the middle order.
- Mujeeb ur Rahman - Mujeeb ur Rahman went wicketless in the first game but gave just 28 runs. It is rare to see Mujeeb end his spell without something in a wickets column, but things could change in the next game.
BLK Team Form
B-Love Kandy showed promise with the ball against Colombo but their batting came as a copper. The willow wielders will have to raise their games and help the team post or chase big totals.
B-Love Kandy Predicted Playing 11
Ashen Bandara, Dinesh Chandimal, Thanuka Dabare/Asif Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Angelo Mathews, Isuru Udana, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Aamer Jamal, Mohammad Hasnain, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
