Match Details:
The 11th match of the Pondicherry T20 2020 will be played between Bulls XI and Lions XI at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground, Puducherry.
The match is scheduled to start at 09:30 AM IST. It will be streamed live on FanCode.
Preview:
After both the matches were abandoned yesterday, the chances of any play happening today seem bleak. The weather doesn’t look good and the teams would be hoping that the rain stays away. Both the teams are reeling at the bottom of the table and would be desperate for a win in order to remain in contention for the semi-finals.
While Lions XI have lost all of their three games so far, Bulls XI have been really unlucky in this season. While they have lost one game, two of their games were abandoned due to rain. With two points to their name, Bulls XI are ahead of their rivals, and a win here would be more beneficial for them than Lions XI, as it will help them move into the top four.
