Yesterday’s match of Lanka Premier League, between Gallen Titans and Colombo Strikers was certainly a one-sided match. Galle Titans were phenomenal in both areas, that is batting and bowling. They were able to restrict the opponent at a low score, and at the same time reached the target without much of an effort. The main credit for this win certainly goes to the bowling unit, that is Tabraiz Shamsi. He certainly stood out and ensured that he consistently gets the wicket for the team.
