Puducherry vs Rajasthan Betting Tips
Puducherry to score low before 1st dismissal
Puducherry had a depressing campaign last year with a disappointing batting run in the competition. The team could not produce a solid opening line-up of batters in the team and switched a lot between several batters in the team. Few of the batters were Damodaran Rohit, Avinash Jadhav, Akash Kargave, Arun Karthik & Ramachandran Ragupathy who averaged regrettably low in the competition. The team posted scores of 47, 7, 1, 7 and 17 runs before their first dismissal in their last five fixtures of the tournament. Moreover, Rajasthan’s bowling order will make it extremely difficult for Puducherry to score runs in the game. Bowlers like Rahul Chahar, Aniket Choudhary and Ravi Bishnoi in the team, Puducherry is certain to face an early dismissal in the game.
