TEAMS PREVIEW

River Rine Club Preview

River Rine Club are hoping to get the better of City Cricket Club for the first time after having struggled on numerous occasions against this opponent. A string of four consecutive losses against CTC highlights the troubles for the team in this fixture. RRC were able to get a fairly comfortable victory in the opening match but they are likely to be bound under a lot of pressure for the match.

Yogesh Tiwari was the player to have a big impact for RRC in the opening match, as he came up with a half-century from just 45 balls. Tiwari would have found it difficult to inspire the victory if not for the decent cameos from Amit Sinha and Akash Chetri. The trio will be keenly watched in the game.

A major chunk of the win could be owed to the bowlers. Apart from coming up at 26 runs in just 20 balls, Amit Sinha also came in with three wickets from his four overs. Akash Chetri also added two wickets to his credit.

River Rine Club Predicted Playing XI:

Affan Ahmed, Aman Chetry, Amit Sinha, Rajmoon Sarmah, Roshan Basfor, Yogesh Tiwari, Akash Chetry, Bikash Chetry, Biplab Saikia, Jacky Ali, Wasiqur Rahman

City Cricket Club Preview

City Cricket Club appeared to be in great shape to start the new campaign with a victory. However, they had to settle for a point following the match being called off due to rain. After a relatively successful 2023 season in which the team was able to finish in the semifinals, City Cricket Club would have been expecting to do very well at the start of 2024.

The game will showcase a lot of the team’s progress. Wasiqur Rahman had a big impact with City Cricket Club in the 2023 campaign but he will now be on the opposite side. There is no doubt that CTC appears to be slightly weaker compared to last season. Rohan Hazarika is another player who had a big impact in 2023 and his absence causes a lot of disruptions.

Abhijot Singh Sidhu was the leading wicket-taker for the team last season with eight from just seven innings. A lot will hinge upon the bowlers if CTC are to come away with the maximum points.

City Cricket Club Predicted Playing XI:

Angshuman Katoni, Romario Sharma, Sanjay Singh, Shaan Singh Rana, Pankaj Rai, Vedant Pandey, Sanjib Barman, Tajinder Singh, Pratay Das, Om Prakash Mahanta, Gopal Krishna Ghosh

City Cricket Club Actual Playing XI:

Pankaj Rai, Vedant Pandey , Chandradeep Das, Gopal Krishna Ghosh, Sanjay Singh, Sanjib Barman, Angshuman Katoni, Mit Rajkumar, Om Prakash Mahanta, Romario Sharma, Shaan Singh Rana, Tajinder Singh
