In Round III, Bengal lock horns with Mumbai at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati in an Elite Group B clash. Both sides have won their respective previous games and it promises to be a cracker of a contest.

Bengal beat Baroda in a thriller of a contest in their last game. Batting first, Bengal posted 146 on the board, thanks to some good contributions from lower-order batters. Baroda skipper Krunal Pandya was strong in the chase but the Bengal bowlers held their nerves in the end to seal the game by two runs. They will be high in confidence when they take the field against Mumbai on Saturday.

Mumbai, meanwhile, after getting off to a losing start to the competition, have bounced back to win against Services in their second game. After being asked to bat first, Mumbai scored 154 on the board, losing seven wickets. The bowlers then stepped up as they restricted Services to 137, winning the game by 17 runs. It was a good all-round performance from them and they will look to repeat it against Bengal in their next outing.
