India's oldest rivals in Football, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, will meet each other for the second time on the cricket pitch on Sunday. The second Kolkata Derby of the Bengal T20 Challenge 2020 will take place at the Eden Gardens, in Kolkata.
Mohun Bagan AC find themselves at the fifth spot with three victories in eight games so far. The team will miss the services of Manoj Tiwary, who sustained an injury during the club's third game of the season. The Kolkata-based side will hope to find the right combination and build some momentum for the rest of the tournament.
East Bengal Club, on the other hand, are one spot above their opponents in the points table. They sit at the fourth position with three wins in as many games. They are also yet to find the perfect combination and will have to fix things as the league is heading towards the business end.
