THE PREDICTION

With three wins from their opening three Group B games, Bengal are looking in a prime position to qualify for the knockout stage of the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. However, with Tamil Nadu also having won three games from three, they cannot afford to run out of steam here against Assam. Bengal’s batting has proven their real strong point so far, with opener Vivek Singh in fantastic form having accrued scores of 100 not out and 54 not out already. Providing Bengal can maintain their momentum with the bat in this match, which they should do against an Assam side who have struggled badly with the ball in this competition so far, then they are expected to record a fourth straight Group B victory.
