Dambulla Aura and B-Love Kandy – the two best teams in the tournament will play in the final. Dambulla Aura defeated Galle Titans in Qualifier 1 to reach the final. They were the best team in league stage and won six out of eight games.

Kandy won four out of eight games in the league stage but defeated Jaffna Kings and Galle Titans in Eliminator and Qualifier 2 respectively to reach the final.

Group winners Dambulla Aura have shown their quality across the entire tournament and enter the final on a back of a six-match winning streak. Their qualifier victory was a tense one against Galle Titans but as top teams do, they held their nerve when it mattered and got through, reaching their target of 147 with six wickets and two balls to spare. Dambulla have bowled out their opponents in each of their last three fixtures and have taken 39 wickets from the last 40 available to them. It will take something special to topple them in the final.

B-Love Kandy have successfully ridden that winning momentum garnered through their resounding eliminator victory, all the way to the final after overcoming Galle Titans in the second qualifier. Their bowlers have been fantastic across the play-offs so far, twice restricting their opponents to less than 130 runs chasing targets of 189 and 158 respectively. Wanindu Hasaranga continues to bamboozle if not with ball, then with bat and against Galle Titans, it was with the bat where he played a decisive role, top-scoring with 48 as Kandy got themselves up to 157/7, comfortably a winning score in the end.
