Odisha vs Bengal Chance of Winning

While the Bengal team has won two Ranji trophies and has played the finals a total of 12 times, the neighbouring state Odisha is yet to open their trophy cabinet. The Bengal team also defeated Odisha in the second quarter-finals of the Ranji trophy 2019-2020. Another advantage that Bengal will be having is having a home crowd. The Kolkata crowd is known for being heavy supporters of their cricket team. It will be a difficult situation for Odisha to defeat Bengal on their home ground. The recent form and the team lineups also strongly tilt the balance towards Bengal. Bengal certainly seems to have a better chance of winning the game against Odisha.

The Bengal side has managed to impress through the batting and bowling as they have successfully managed to take 10 wickets in the ongoing Ranji series. Hence, our prediction after considering all the factors is tilted towards Bengal.
