KOLKATA: The pitch grabbed all the attention on eve of a seemingly mismatch of a battle between Bengal and Odisha in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group ‘A’ match beginning at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
Hosts Bengal, already ensured of a quarterfinals berth sitting atop the table with 32 points, should hold all the aces against their neighbours, who are lying seventh with just eight points after having a poor run this season. The Subhranshu Senapati-led side, which is yet to record a victory so far, will have to punch above their weight to stop this upbeat Bengal side.
