Match Details:
The 14th match of the Odisha Cricket League 2020/21 will be played between Odisha Pumas and Odisha Tigers at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack.
The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM local time and IST and it will be streamed live on Fancode.
Preview:
The points table will show that Saturday’s second game of Odisha Cricket League will be between the second-placed and the fourth-placed team of this competition. However, all that separates the two teams is the net run rate. Odisha Pumas have registered 2 wins from 4 games so far.
What has gone against their favour is the margin by which they have lost the games, which has pushed them back to fourth. The Tigers have also won 2 of their 4 games. Though they are sitting at the second place, one bad result can drop them down the fourth. Hence, this game will be very crucial for both sides.
