Match Details:

The 19th match of the Odisha Cricket League 2020/21 will be played between Odisha Cheetahs and Odisha Tigers at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack.

The match is scheduled to start at 3:30 PM local time and IST and it will be streamed live on Fancode.

Preview:

Odisha Cheetahs and Odisha Tigers started off their 2020/21 Odisha Cricket League campaigns brilliantly, but they took a nosedive after the start. The Odisha Tigers won their first 2 games, but have suffered defeats in their next 3. They are currently languishing at the 5th place.

The Cheetahs, too, have been unimpressive in the last few games. They have won only one of their last 3 games, which has placed them in the 3rd position. Given the importance of momentum in jam-packed competitions such as this, it will be extremely important for both teams to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
