After 30 league-stage games in the Bengal T20 Challenge, an in-form Tapan Memorial Club take on an inconsistent Kalighat Club in the first semi-final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Tapan Memorial Club topped the points table in the league stage of the Bengal T20 Chalenge. They lost just three games and were consistent throughout the tournament.
In fact, Tapan Memorial Club have won five of their last six Bengal T20 Challenge games and have momentum going into the tournament's knockout rounds. They have had different players stepping up and performing really well, which makes them the favourites for this Bengal T20 Challenge game.
On the other hand, it has been a pretty a topsy-turvy campaign for Kalighat Club in the Bengal T20 Challenge. They just couldn’t gather any sort of momentum but nevertheless managed to scrape through, winning five and losing as many games in the tournament's league stage.
However, the Subham Chatterjee-led side will need to raise the bar and shrug off their consistency to reach the Bengal T20 Challenge final.
