Preview:
In the final match of the KCA President’s Cup 2021, KCA Eagles will take on KCA Royals. Last two matches have been nothing but a dream for Eagles. They were at a point in the competition where a place in the semi-final was very unlikely. But they won last to back-to-back matches and are a good contender for the title now.
They will be very high on the confidence and will come as favourites in the match. On the other hand, KCA Royals are a top team and did not find it difficult to get a place in the semi-finals. They will need to cross one last hurdle to earn the crown.
