Where the Super Six phase of the Premier Hockey League went into the Eid break, four teams have a chance to win the title. Mohammedan, who are 4 points ahead of Abahani, Mariners and Usha, are in a favorable position but they have three tough matches left.
Mohammedans need to win at least two of the three matches to regain the title. With three opponents, Mariners, Abahani and Usha, it is difficult to give early wins.
Mohammedan is the only unbeaten team in Premier Hockey League. In the first period, the black and white were single-handedly on top with 26 points. They beat Ajax and Police in the first two matches of the Super Six and retained the top spot.
Mohammedan, leading by four points, will enter the field tomorrow Sunday after the Eid break. The opponent is the defending champion Mariners. Mohammedan points 32, Mariners 28.
Mohammedan-Mariners are going to meet for the third time in the current league. The Mariners defeated Mahomedan in the group stage of the Club Cup. The white and black avenged that loss in the first round of the league.
The third encounter is very important for both the teams. If Mohammedan wins, the title will come close to their hands. The Mariners’ chances will be over. And if the Mariners win, the league will freeze. The championship will become more open.
The match between Mohammedan and Mariners will start at 4 pm. Abahani and Usha Krira Chakra will meet in the second match of the day at the Maulana Bhasani Stadium. This match will start at 6 pm.
