East Zone vs South Zone Betting Tips

With The kind of form that Rohan Kunnummal is in, I would be a fool to dismiss him and move ahead. If he goes on to score a 70, that’d be a regulation thing. Further, how can you really discount Vidhwath Kaverappa? He has been on a spree of his own, with holistic bowling performances for three seasons now and this Deodhar Trophy has seen his coming of age. Go for him.

South Zone Team Form

Like East Zone, South Zone have secured three wins in their first three matches and the manner with which they have won their games is a testament to their prowess as a team. Every single player has contributed and that has made them the most threatening team in the competition.

East Zone vs South Zone Betting Odds

SZ to dominate the powerplay (Parimatch)

In three matches in the ongoing Deodhar Trophy, Rohan Kunnummal has scored a 70 and an 85* - which propelled the South Zone to have a solid standing. With him opening for the side, they can breathe a sigh of relief but what will make them more rounded in their approach is the presence of an assured Mayank Agarwal as the duo look to dominate the game for the side. Trust them to deliver.

East Zone vs South Zone Best Batters

Tiwary to be EZ’s best batter (Parimatch)

Saurabh Tiwary, a reliable batsman in List A cricket, boasts an enviable record with 7872 runs at 47.70, including 21 centuries and 34 fifties. In the last three seasons, he maintained an impressive average of 52, making him a promising choice to deliver consistently. Even though his innings didn’t go as planned against North Zone, we know whom to trust.

Kunnummal to be SZ’s best batter (Parimatch)

Rohan Kunnummal has been in exceptional form in the ongoing Deodhar Trophy, contributing significantly with scores of 70 and an unbeaten 85*. With an impressive List A average of 58.60 and a strike rate of 105.64, Kunnummal proves himself as a potential star performer, having scored 879 runs in the format. His consistent and impactful displays make him a player to watch out for.

East Zone vs South Zone Best Bowlers

Akash Deep to be EZ’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Akash Deep is the main enforcer for East Zone, along with Mura Singh. With an impressive record of 30 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 27.44, Akash Deep has proven his ability to get the job done effectively. East Zone will be relying on his bowling prowess to make an impact. Having performed well for Royal Challengers Bangalore, the talented player from Sasaram has the potential to be a devastating force in the upcoming matches.

Vidhwath Kaverappa to be SZ’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Vidwath Kaverappa is on absolute roll at this moment, and after starring in the Duleep Trophy final, he has now taken the mantle forward to dominate the show in the Deodhar Trophy. What is even more impressive is the fact that he has 29 wickets in the List A format in just 16 matches at a terrific average of 12.00. That’s as good as it can get.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: South Zone

East Zone may have gone on to win all of their matches so far, but the kind of dominance that South Zone have shown, that’d be hard to match. With Rohan Kunnummal and Mayank Agarwal steering the batting department on their own and with Vidhwath Kaverappa and Sai Kishore building pressure with the ball, there is no way East is surviving the carnage. So just sit tight and enjoy the burglary. That, of course, depends on which side of the schism you stand on.

EZ to win @ 2.34 (Melbet)

SZ to win @ 1.57 (Melbet)
