TEAMS PREVIEW

Puducherry Preview

Puducherry lost their previous match in the last season by 105 runs. Bowling first in the match they conceded 379 runs. Ankit Sharma and Rohan Suresh were the top bowlers as they picked up 2 wickets each. It was a run fest for the opposition batters.

The Puducherry batsmen tried their best, however, could not get over the line as the score was a little too high. Ankit Sharma performed with the bat as well here scoring a wonderful century which, however, went in vain. This was the previous season and hopefully the team has forgotten all about that.
