Troubled by bad weather in its last two matches, Bengal will hope that it doesn’t lose playing time again as it attempts to garner valuable points in its Ranji Trophy Group-B match against bottom-placed Assam at the ACA Stadium, Barsapara, from Friday.
Fifth-placed Bengal, which has managed only five points so far despite having the upper hand in its last two outings against Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, knows that it deserves a better spot in the group in spite of the absence of key players.
Only one point from its last home engagement against Chhattisgarh due to the unfinished first innings was a jolt to the side’s progress.
