GLT vs BLK: Galle Titans and B-Love Kandy will cross swords in the 5th match of the ongoing Lanka Premier League 2023 (LPL 2023) on August 1. GLT finished 4th on the points table in the group stage last season, while BLK topped the table. Both teams failed to make the final last year. Both sides have rebranded themselves ahead of the season and would like the change in name to bring in a change of luck as well.

Pitch Report
The pitch at R. Premadasa Stadium is well-balanced and provides equal opportunities for both batters and bowlers. Pacers get more assistance here than spinners, and one can expect them to perform better. Once the batters get their eye in, they can play their shots. The average first-inning score here is 145, and the team that wins the toss here may opt to chase.
