Kerala vs Uttar Pradesh Chances of Winning
Kerala’s last game versus Bengal was not played to fruition as there was no play on day one. Kerala came in to bat first on the second day and the batters did a brilliant job as they posted 356 runs on the board before declaring. The lower order, particularly, were quite prolific with the bat as Salman Nizar, Mohammed Azharuddeen and Jalaj Saxena were the top scorers with 95*, 84 and 84 runs, respectively. Bengal set out to chase the target and it was going at a steady pace but as they scored 181/3, the match was halted abruptly due to time constraints and the teams were at an impasse.
Uttar Pradesh settled for a third draw in a row against Punjab in the last encounter. The latter batted first and their performance was substandard at best with 210 runs on the board. Uttar Pradesh’s batters gave the opposition’s bowlers a run for their money by piling on 556 runs before declaring the total. However, Punjab’s second innings was going rather well considering they scored an extra 267 runs before they ran out of time and had to draw with Uttar Pradesh.

Kerala vs Uttar Pradesh Betting Tips
Kerala to score over 25.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)
Vathsal Govind and Rohan Kunnummal have maintained decent averages of 21.33 and 37.25, respectively, in the ongoing season but their first wicket stands have been extremely beneficial to the team. With scores of 33, 94, 37 and 73 runs before the fall of the first wicket, Kerala’s opening wicket is undoubtedly safe in the hands of the duo. Another big showing is anticipated on their part against Uttar Pradesh’s bowling attack.

Kerala vs Uttar Pradesh Betting Odds
Kerala to have a better opening partnership than Uttar Pradesh
Vathsal Govind and Rohan Kunnummal have been the openers for Kerala since the start of the season and they have been incredibly consistent, having added 33, 94, 37 and 73 runs to the first wicket in the three matches they have played. Having said that, it is certainly going to be a close contest with Uttar Pradesh whose openers have also done just as well for the team with totals of 42, 31, 83 and 9 runs in the last three fixtures. Although it is a tough choice, the bookmakers believe that Kerala’s openers have a slight edge over Uttar Pradesh in the next game.
