OPA vs OPU Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Odisha Cricket League Match 18 – Jan 04, 2021

In the 18th match of the ongoing Odisha Cricket League 2020-21, Odisha Panthers square off against Odisha Pumas at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Both teams are coming into this game on the back of winning runs.

Odisha Panthers have looked almost unstoppable in the Odisha Cricket League. They have won five games in a row and are sitting pretty at the top of the points table.

Barring their last game against Odisha Jaguars, which they won in a Super Over, Odisha Panthers have been dominant, both while batting first or chasing. The Basant Mohanty-led side start as the favourites for this Odisha Cricket League game.

On the other hand, Odisha Pumas have been scratchy and inconsistent in the Odisha Cricket League. They lost two of their first three games before winning two on the bounce. With 12 points in their kitty, they are currently third in the points table, and a win in this game will take them second.

The last time these two sides squared off in the Odisha Cricket League, Odisha Panthers eased through a chase of 142 runs with 27 balls and nine wickets to spare.

Pitch Report

The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack has produced sporting tracks in the Odisha Cricket League, as the batsmen haven’t really dominated and got big runs.

The average score batting first is around the 130-run mark. More of the same could be expected for this game, and bowlers are likely to continue to enjoy the upper hand.

140-145 runs may well prove to be a winning score on this track.
