ODC vs OPU Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – Odisha Cricket League 2020/21, Match 26

Match Details:

The 26th match of the Odisha Cricket League 2020/21 will be played between Odisha Cheetahs and Odisha Pumas at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack on Friday.

This match is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM Local Time and IST and it will be streamed live on FanCode.

Preview:

Odisha Cheetahs and Odisha Pumas will square off each other in the 9th match of the Odisha Cricket League 2020/21 on Friday. The Cheetahs lost their previous game against the Panthers who went on to chase the target of 97 runs with six wickets in hand. Adding to that, Odisha Cheetahs didn’t have a good time on the field as they won only one out of 5 matches they played. Currently, they are at the 5th position with 12 points in their hand and are expected to execute their plans in a better fashion in the rest of the matches.

Like Odisha Cheetahs, the Pumas have lost their last match against the Lions as they failed to defend the total of 86 runs in the allotted overs. But their story is different than Odisha Cheetahs as they have lost only one out of their last five games they played in the league. They would look to rectify the mistakes they committed in the last match against Odisha Lions. However, they are sitting at the 2nd position in the standings with 20 points and would look forward to bouncing back in this game.
