The Lanka Premier League 2023 has lived up to its billing and reputation and has been an action-packed tournament so far. Several enticing matches have taken place and most of the games have gone right down to the wire.
After 20 pulsating league stage games, we have finally arrived at the business end of the tournament. The playoffs promise to be absolute crackerjacks in terms of action and we can expect some solid performances from all sides.
As the tournament is taking place in the subcontinent conditions and keeping in mind the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the World Cup bound players of all nations are taking the tournament quite seriously.
Even when tournaments such as the Global T20 Canada were taking place simultaneously, many players opted towards playing in this tournament. The skipper of Pakistan, Babar Azam is one such example.
One of the most interesting journeys in the tournament so far has been that of B-Love Kandy. After having a slow start, B-Love Kandy picked up pace towards the middle and latter part of the tournament and booked their place in the playoffs.
They are pitted against defending champions Jaffna Kings in the Eliminator and have a solid chance of qualifying to the next round of the playoffs.
Colombo Strikers are the only team that has failed to qualify for the playoffs in this tournament. Babar Azam and co. finished with the wooden spoon and managed to win only 3 games in their 8 allotted matches.
