Galle Titans secured a narrow 177-176 victory over Colombo Kings in the Sri Lanka Premier League on Thursday evening. The match, played on 7 August 2026, saw the visitors claim all three points in what proved to be a decisive encounter for both sides.
Galle, sitting second in the table with 10 points from eight games, improved their position with the win. Colombo Kings remain third with 8 points after four victories and four defeats from their opening eight fixtures.
The result reversed the outcome from their earlier meeting on 1 August, when Galle had won 201-188 at home. Both teams entered this encounter on mixed recent form, with Colombo having won three of their previous five games and Galle taking two wins from the same span.
Colombo Kings will be disappointed to lose after their comfortable 203-135 victory over Candy Taskers just two days earlier. Galle Titans, meanwhile, bounced back from their heavy 228-242 defeat to Jaffna Stallions on 5 August.
The result keeps Galle one point clear of Colombo in the standings, though the gap could narrow depending on other results. Both sides have played eight matches each, with Colombo yet to record a draw and Galle similarly winless in that regard.
