Preview:
Odisha Tigers and Odisha Lions will square off against each other in the 4th match of the Odisha Cricket League on Monday. Odisha Tigers didn’t get the start they wanted as they lost their first match by 7 runs against Odisha Cheetahs. In the run-chase, they lost 7 wickets in a span of 5 overs which cost the game for them. They will look to rectify their mistakes and come back strongly in their second game.
On the other hand, Odisha Lions will be playing their first match of the competition. They have good young as well as experienced players in their line-up which makes them a strong unit. Sujit Lenka and Swastik Samal are the main players to watch for in the Odisha Lions eleven. It will be interesting to see who will come on top since both the teams look pretty impressive on the paper.
