Telugu Warriors, who had defeated Chennai Rhinos in the last season, will clash with the Kollywood team in Celebrity Cricket League 6. The match is being played at Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Sunday.
In their first CCL 6 match, Telugu Warriors defeated Kerala Strikers by five wickets. After winning the toss, the Tollywood team decided to field first and restricted the Mollywood team to 148 runs. The target was comfortably reached with Sudhir Babu's 50-run contribution.
