The second season of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) is set to end with a bang as 11,000 cricket-crazy fans will grace the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, Hambantota to watch the Final face-off of the tournament on Thursday. With Thisara Perera’s Jaffna Kings taking on Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s Galle Gladiators in the Final, the tickets for the match were sold out in no time.

Speaking on the development, Mr. Anil Mohan, Founder, and CEO of Dubai-based production giant IPG, the official promoter of LPL, said, “It’s absolutely brilliant to see the tickets sold out for the Final of the Lanka Premier League. We’ve had a host of wonderful fans coming into the stadium throughout the tournament and therefore it was only fitting to have a packed stadium for the last game of the season. I hope that the fans have a great time and they get to watch a terrific contest.”

The Galle Gladiators defeated Jaffna Kings in Qualifier 1 to enter LPL 2021 final

The Galle Gladiators defeated Jaffna Kings by 64 runs in Qualifier 1 to book a place in the Final, while the Jaffna Kings went past Dambulla Giants by 23 runs to make their way to the Final. The Jaffna Kings had finished at the top of the table in the league stage with 6 wins from 8 matches, meanwhile, the Galle Gladiators had finished in second place with 4 wins from 8 matches.

Jaffna Kings are the defending champions of the Lankan T20 league and have made their way yet again into the finale of the 2021 edition. By doing so, they have established themselves as one of the consistent sides in the Lanka Premier League and it remains to be seen if they will be able to retain their title.

“I am really happy today with the way our batters batted. There was pressure after losing the first playoff. As a unit, everything was done really well. The final is just another match. My boys did a really good job today and hope they can do well in the finals,” said Jaffna skipper Thisara Perera after making it to the final.
