Facts:
- Madhya Pradesh batsman Shubham Sharma is the leading run scorer of the 2024/25 season with 536 runs in just 6 innings.
- Ishan Porel is the only Bengal bowler to cross double digits in wickets so far this season, with 10 dismissals in 3 innings.
Madhya Pradesh vs Bengal Chance of Winning
5-time Ranji Trophy winners Madhya Pradesh have made an unbeaten start to the season. After drawing three matches, they got their first win of the season in Patna. The semi-finalists from last season are picking up form and will be looking at extending their winning run against Bengal to make the knockout stages once again.
While Bengal are also unbeaten so far, it isn’t the unbeaten run they would have liked. They have had rotten luck with rain as one of their matches was washed out while the other three also had rain affect play, resulting in the games ending in draws. While they need luck to fall their way, their players would also need to raise their game to get their first win of the campaign.
Madhya Pradesh Chance of Winning - 55%
Bengal Chance of Winning - 45%

Madhya Pradesh vs Bengal Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
The Holkar Cricket Stadium is a batters’ paradise. All the matches played so far at the venue this season have resulted in high scores, with 4 out of 6 innings seeing scores above 300.
With the form the tournament’s leading runscorer is in, we’re expecting Shubham Sharma to go big. The last match he played, he scored 240 runs against Bihar while he has scored a century and another fifty as well in the season.
Bengal have been impressive with the bat as well despite rain playing spoilsport in all of their matches. Sudip Chatterjee has given the team a good platform at the top of the order in all three matches and we believe he will be able to make the most of the conditions in Indore as well.
Madhya Pradesh vs Bengal Match Toss Prediction
The hosts have batted first on both occasions on this batting-friendly track in Indore. With the pitches favouring batters, we expect teams to want to bat first in order to set up an imposing first inning total to gain an advantage in the match.
Weather Report
It is expected to be sunny in Indore throughout the four days the match is scheduled and with no chance of rain, we are likely to see a full game. The conditions are likely to be ideal with the maximum temperature predicted to be 30 degrees celsius and the minimum at 16 degrees.

Madhya Pradesh vs Bengal Top Batters
Shubham Sharma to be Madhya Pradesh’s top batsman
Madhya Pradesh’s captain has led from the front in the Ranji Trophy so far. Shubham Sharma is the tournament’s leading run getter with 536 runs in 6 innings at an average of 134. He comes into the match on the back of a match-winning 240 against Bihar while he also smashed an unbeaten 143 at home in the team’s first match of the season.
Sudip Chatterjee to be Bengal’s top batsman
33-year-old Sudip Chatterjee has been a figure of consistency in the tournament so far. The opener has scored three fifties and one hundred in five innings with his lowest score in the season being 48. Bengal will be relying on him to score the bulk of the team’s runs.
Madhya Pradesh vs Bengal Top Bowlers
Kumar Kartikeya to be Madhya Pradesh’s top bowler
Left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya was the joint second-highest wicket taker in the Ranji Trophy last season. He has started this season well with 19 wickets in just 4 matches with 10 of those coming in Indore in just 3 innings. With the 26-year-old enjoying home comforts, we’re expecting him to do well against Bengal.
Ishan Porel to be Bengal’s top bowler
Medium pacer Ishan Porel has been Bengal’s best bowler in the tournament so far despite rain interruptions in three of their four matches. The 26-year-old has taken 10 wickets in three innings for his team and will be expected to lead Bengal’s bowling attack once again in Indore.
