Preview:

When Jaguars will take on Pumas in today’s second game of the Odisha Cricket League, a lot will be at stake. Both teams have started their campaigns with a defeat, and given how jam-packed the fixtures are, two defeats on the trot will surely dampen a team’s confidence quite significantly.

The Pumas were outplayed by Odisha Panthers in the first game. Their batting unit could only muster 141, while their bowling unit were taken for a ride all over the park by the Panthers’ batsmen.
