In the third match of the Assam T20 Challengers Trophy 2023, Manas Tigers will face Kaziranga Heroes at the Amingaon Cricket Ground in Guwahati on Thursday, August 31.
Manas Tigers started the competition on a winning note over Barak Bravehearts by three wickets on Wednesday. Bowling first, they restricted Barak to just 133 runs. In return, opener Pallav Kumar's 65-run knock laid a solid platform for the middle order to finish the job. Despite going through a little scare in the middle and death overs, the Tigers sealed the deal with two balls to spare and three wickets in hand.
Kaziranga Heroes had a disappointing competition last year. They won only three of their ten matches and finished fifth in the points table. With changes in caption and their squad, they will be looking to turn the tables and add victories right from the first game.
