Match 5 of the Bengal T20 Challenge will see the Calcutta Customs Club go up against the Tapan Memorial Club at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. Both the sides have played one game each in the group stage so far.
The Tapan Memorial Club started their campaign with a bang when they registered a six-wicket victory against East Bengal Club. The latter posted a below-par total of 118 runs, which turned out to be an easy score for the Tapan Memorial Club to chase as they reached the target with 23 balls to spare.
The Calcutta Customs Club, on the other hand, lost their opening game against Mohun Bagan Athletic Club. The former had to chase a total of 156 runs but managed to post only 139 runs on the board and finally fell short by 17 runs.
Both sides look evenly-matched on paper and fans have an intriguing clash on their hands.

CAL vs TMC: Pitch report
The pitch is expected to favour the batsmen with very fewer offerings for the pacers as well as the spinners. The new ball will swing early during the game and the bowlers will have to deliver at the right line and length to pick up wickets.
A total of over 150 runs is considered a good total on this track. In case the batsmen fail to put up a challenging total, their opponents will have an easy task ahead of them. The teams chasing having won most of the games at this pitch, so both teams are likely to look to bowl first.
