Preview:
Playing their second match of the tournament will be the East Bengal Club and the Town Club when they face off against each other on Thursday. Both these teams have had very contrasting starts to their runs in this tournament.
While on one hand, the Town Club started on a positive note by winning their first game against the Kalighat Club by 3 wickets, the East Bengal Club did not have the start they would have ideally wanted to have. They lost their match to Tapan Club who walked home all smiles after a 6 wicket win. So, coming into this game, the Town Club will hold the upper hand over their opponents, who will have to work really hard to get to a win in this game.
