On the other hand, Bangla Tigers performed well in the Super League, eventually making it to the eliminators. The Tigers were defeated by the Deccan Gladiators in the eliminator. Coming into this game, both teams will look to secure a win, as in a jam-packed tournament like this one, getting started off in the front foot is extremely necessary.
