ST vs RL Match Prediction & Analysis

Surguja Tigers will face Raigarh Lions in the second match of the Chhattisgarh Premier League played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Thursday.

Last year, Surguja Tigers suffered from inconsistency as a unit and failed to win any matches. Captain Ashutosh Singh will be hoping that the side can produce a decent show with bat and ball in this fixture.

On the other hand, Raigarh Lions also failed to make an impact in last year’s Chhattisgarh Premier League with only one victory in five matches played. Captain Rishabh Tiwari will be hoping that the side can adjust to the conditions and put up a strong fight against Surguja Tigers.

Last season, Surguja Tigers registered a one-run win over Raigarh Lions.
