Coveted Legends League Cricket (LLC) 2024 continues to thrill the fans with India Capitals (IC) taking on Konark Suryas Odisha (KSO), at the Lalabhai Contractor Stadium in Surat, Gujarat, on Sunday, September 29.
The Ian Bell-led Capitals started with a bang, registering a one-run win over Toyam Hyderabad. But the side couldn’t reflect a similar performance in their last game against Dinesh Karthik’s Southern Super Stars, as they lost the game by four wickets. After two games, the side finds themselves in the third position in the points table with a negative NRR of -0.240.
On the other hand, Irfan Pathan’s Konark Suryas Odisha also had a promising start, as they got the better of the Manipal Tigers and won the game by two runs. Odisha who were set to play their next game against the same side, couldn’t replicate a similar performance as rain played a spoilsport, with the match being abandoned.

He will look to continue the momentum in the upcoming game.
