Odisha Lions will lock horns with Odisha Pumas in the 24th match of the Odisha T20 on Thursday at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
Odisha Lions have won three of their five games and are third in the Odisha T20 points table. They succumbed to Odisha Panthers by two wickets while defending a below-par total of 118 runs in their last Odisha T20 game and will need to be at their best to beat the in-form Odisha Pumas.
Odisha Pumas, on the other hand, are second in the Odisha T20 points table, with five wins from their seven games. They comfortably chased down a meagre total of 113 runs against Odisha Jaguars in their previous game to register a fourth consecutive victory in the Odisha T20.
The Arainda Singh-led side will hope to pick up a win in this game and stretch their winning streak in the Odisha T20 tournament to five games.

Pitch Report
The track at the Barabati Stadium is a batting-friendly one. However, it has slowed down during the course of the Odisha T20 tounament.
The bowlers have enjoyed great success in recent games and have scalped wickets at regular intervals while the batsmen have had to work hard to score big runs. Anything over 125 runs could be a pretty competitive total at this venue.
