Himachal Pradesh vs Kerala Chance of Winning
Himachal Pradesh is coming to become a strong cricketing state. They have won their first ever domestic trophy, by winning the 2021–22 edition of Vijay Hazare Trophy. They also went in to compete in the finals of the previous edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but lost to Mumbai to finish as runners-up. They had a flawless campaign, winning four games while two of their games were abandoned. They will hope to start this year’s campaign with a win over Kerala in their upcoming game.
Kerala also had a good season last year. They finished second in their group table with five wins and two losses. They moved into their preliminary quarter-finals but their journey ended there as Saurashtra won the contest between the two. Kerala will be eager to make a comeback this season, starting with their next game.
This will be an interesting game between the two teams. Kerala is a decent team and has performed well in most competitions. However, the sudden rise in Himachal Pradesh’s vigour will make it tough for Kerala to win the contest. HP, being the former runner-up of the trophy, will have an edge in the upcoming clash.
- Himachal Pradesh's chance of winning: 55%
- Kerala’s chance of winning: 45%

Himachal Pradesh vs Kerala Betting Tips
Himachal Pradesh to score high before 1st dismissal
Himachal Pradesh has a decent line-up of batters who have scored massive scores in the previous season of the competition. Their opening line-up involves Prashant Chopra and Ankush Bains. Chopra has struck the ball at an average of 29.83 whereas Bains was not very efficient and averaged at 19.00 in the previous season. In their last five outings, their opening partnership lasted for 0, 37, 11, 27 & 10 runs. However, this betting tip inclines more towards the affinity of Kerala bowlers to leak runs in the game. In their last five games of the SMAT 2022, Kerala conceded 50, 84, 42, 6 & 18 runs before picking a wicket in the game. Moreover, the batting surface in Mumbai should help the batters to score massively.

Himachal Pradesh vs Kerala Betting Odds
Himachal Pradesh were in the finals of the SMAT 2022 where they met Mumbai in a 20 over contest. HP could not score much in the game and settled for 143 runs. Ekant Sen gathered the most runs, 37, for the team. In response, Mumbai were able to chase the target successfully and won the game by 3 wickets. Vaibhav Arora picked 3 wickets for HP, but eventually had to taste defeat. However, they will be thrilled and hope to lead a similar campaign this year.
Kerala played their last game against Saurashtra in the preliminary quarter finals last season and lost the game by 9 runs. Saurashtra scored 183 runs in the game. KM Asif was the most successful bowler from Kerala with 3 picks from the game. However, their batting order failed to chase the target and were shy of 9 runs in the end.
The upcoming battle between the sides will pack a lot of action. As both the sides are evenly matched, it will be interesting to see who claims the victory.
