With one game to end preliminary round, Nayan Patel has single handedly made 75 runs which has enabled Indorwa to win their first two games.

Indorwa lead group B with 8 points and Patel is optimistic that they can win this year’s league.

"We don’t have to fear any team, all we need to do to continue playing the way we have been playing with passion,” he said

Meanwhile, the defending champions Challengers go into this game without a win so far in this year’s tournament.

They lost both their matches to Right Guards Cricket club and Kerala Hunters leaving them at the bottom of group B.

According to the team captain Srinath Vardhineni, their two defeats is largely because of their players not being able to adapt to the longer version of the game.

After mastering the T20 format and winning 6 trophies consecutively therein, the club’s top performers including Samal Subhasis and Srinath have not been given a room to shine.

"We have to try our best and at least win a game in this year’s competition” Srinath said.
