ODL vs OPU Dream11 prediction: Match preview

With just a few matches remaining, the race for the top spots at the Odisa T20 League is starting to heat up. With 28 points to their name, the Odisha Panthers are a shoo-in for the semi-finals. Sitting just below them, in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, are our two teams for this game, the Odisha Pumas and the Odisha Lions. The Pumas are at 20 points after winning their last game against the Odisha Jaguars by five wickets. They will be looking to extend their winning streak to five games and consolidate a place in the top four with two more games remaining after this match.

The Odisha Lions meanwhile are not far behind the Pumas. They have had a rollercoaster campaign at the Odisha T20 League that has seen them win just three of their eight games. Despite this, they are in third place courtesy of a good 0.562 net run rate. With just 14 points on the table, the Lions will have to win both their remaining games to have a sure chance of making it to the semifinal. They lost their last game to the Odisha Panthers by just two wickets after failing to defend their 188-run total.
