JHA vs ODS Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, Elite B Group

Match Details:

The Elite B Group match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021 will be played between Jharkhand and Odisha at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

This match is scheduled to start at 07:00 PM Local Time and IST.

Preview:

Jharkhand and Odisha were never likely to make it to the top of Elite Group B, but that being said, the campaigns that they have had has been disappointing. Jharkhand started their campaign with a huge defeat against Tamil Nadu. They showed some fight against Bengal, but is wasn’t enough to get a win.

They managed to get that seemingly elusive win in their last match against Assam. Odisha, on the other hand, are in a worse situation as they have lost all of their three matches. While they fought gallantly against Hyderabad, the matches against Tamil Nadu and Bengal were downright surrenders. Hence, this game provides an opportunity of redemption to both the teams.
