Preview:

Lions XI will take on Sharks XI in the 8^th match of the Pondicherry T20 tournament. The two sides are yet to win a game so far in the tournament and are placed at the bottom of the table. Sharks XI had a forgettable opening game, where they were bundled out for just 57 runs. This will be their second game and they will be desperate for a better performance.

On the other, Lions XI have played two and haven’t managed to win either of them. Their batsmen have struggled so far and they need to step up and put some runs on the board, if they are to turn things around and start winning. This will be an interesting watch, as one team is certain to get its first win of the tournament today.
