With the conclusion of a successful ICC T20I World Cup, the fever of franchise cricket takes over in the world of 20-over format with the new season of the Lanka Premier League. ಞThe new banger of a season awaits, where five teams of Sri Lanka strive to be♏ the best on Lankan soil. LPL, a 3-week-long affair, will be hosting 24 matches at 3 venues on Lankan soil.
The first clash of the tournament is speculated to have some sparks with the repeating match of the previous season’s final, where the reigning champions of the LPL 2023, Kandy Falcons, will start their title defense against the Dambulla Sixers (previously known as the Dambulla Thunders).
A mouthwatering matchup on the cards, keeping in mind the last season’s close battle between these two teams resulting in LPL getting their first champions other than Jaffna Kings.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
A track suiting the ambitions of the batters in the squad will provide a run-shower fest with somewhat having very little for the bowlers. Conditions, great to have a stick after winning the toss with a par score of around 160 to 170 runs will certainly start to slow down while chasing, as per the last 10 T20 games at this venue. Though it is also generally seen that pacers do come in handy while batting first and spinners drastically change the tide with their bowling in the secon𓃲d inning, their will be a competitive bat and ball game.
