- Nagaland have lost their last six SMAT fixtures.
Madhya Pradesh vs Nagaland Chance of Winning
Madhya Pradesh reached the finals once in the history of the competition. However, the team did not have a good season after that. Last season, MP played seven games and managed to win only three of them, losing on four occasions. This led them to finish 7th in the Elite Group A. They will be looking to revamp their campaign this season with their opening game against Nagaland.
Nagaland were in the Elite Group D alongside six other teams in the same pool. Nagaland is not a big cricketing state in India and has limited resources for the sport. This was pretty evident in their last season’s campaign where they could not win a game in the six games they played. They faced huge defeats in all the games and will be hopeful of a better season this year.
The sides have come across in the 20 over format. However, Madhya Pradesh has a better line-up of players in the team. They are relatively an older entity and have many talented players at their disposal. Madhya Pradesh are expected to win this affair.
- Madhya Pradesh's chance of winning: 97%
- Nagaland’s chance of winning: 3%

Madhya Pradesh vs Nagaland Betting Tips
Nagaland to score low before 1st dismissal
Nagaland had a very disappointing season in the previous season with poor batting and bowling performances. The opening line-up of Nagaland revolved around Joshua Ozukum, Sedezhalie Rupero and Nzanthung Mozhui who averaged at 11.33, 6.60 & 5.00 respectively in the previous season. This is pretty low and their scores in the opening partnership were far more upsetting. They posted 2, 7, 13, 18, 12 & 21 runs before their first dismissal last season. Two of those instances, they lost their first wicket on a single-digit total. Having that said, Nagaland never possessed a good batting order. Madhya Pradesh will exploit their weakness in their favour and pick an early wicket in the upcoming game.

Madhya Pradesh vs Nagaland Betting Odds
Madhya Pradesh played their last T20 against Assam in the previous edition of the competition. They went in to bat first and raised 192 runs in the game. Shubham Sharma (56), Rajat Patidar (52) & Ashwin Das (68*) played incredible innings in the game. However, they had a very poor bowling attack in the game and conceded 194 runs in 19.1 overs. Assam won the game eventually with 5 wickets remaining. They will be more prepared this season starting with their game against Nagaland.
On the other hand, Nagaland faced Himachal Pradesh and faced a humiliating 9-wicket defeat in the game. They could only score 86 runs in the game. It was an easy target for HP who conquered the target in 9.1 overs and won the game by 9 wickets. Nagaland needs to work on their batting and bowling line-up to produce better results this season.
