Preview:
In just the two matches that these teams have played in so far, they have seen it all. They have experienced enthralling victory and heartbreaking losses and they will be coming into this match trying to redeem themselves and get back on track to winning matches.
In their first game, the Mohun Bagan A.C. against Calcutta Customs Club got to a win by a 17-run margin. But what followed in the second game for them was a 6-wicket loss to the hands of the Kalighat Club. A similar story unfolded for their opponents, as the Tapan Memorial Club after winning their opening match, lost their second match.
So, coming into this game, both these teams are placed on relatively level ground and it would be interesting to see which team of the two goes back with a win under their belt.
