Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Chances of Winning
Punjab made an awful start to their season with a defeat at the hands of Kerala in the first match. The former were the first to bat and they posted a low total of 194 on the board. Surprisingly, Kerala faltered in their chase and ended up with a score of 179 before getting bundled out. Punjab had the opportunity to build a gap and run away with the lead but they somehow performed worse in the second innings by getting all out for 142 where skipper Prabhsimran Singh’s 51 was the top score. Kerala did not have much of a target on their hands and they pulled off a successful fourth innings chase, winning by a dominant margin of eight wickets.
Madhya Pradesh were off to a sensational start as they took on Karnataka in the last outing, having scored 425 runs in the first innings before declaring the total. Skipper Shubham Sharma was the standout performer with his unbeaten 143 but Harpreet Singh and Saransh Jain also contributed well with individual scores of 91 and 51, respectively. Karnataka’s chase was also going equally well but a lack of time halted the game at this juncture which resulted in a deadlock between the sides.
- Punjab chance of winning - 40%
- Madhya Pradesh chance of winning - 60%

Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Betting Tips
Punjab to score low before first dismissal
Abhay Choudhary and Naman Dhir were rendered ineffective against Kerala’s bowling in the last match as they were only able to set up totals of 0 and 19 runs. There does not seem to be much of an improvement since the last season given that the team had opening partnerships of 25, 8, 21, 11 and 8 runs in the last three games. In the next fixture, too, the duo aren’t expected to pull off a miraculous performance and score big before the first dismissal.
Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Toss Prediction
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium hosted a single match in the last season of the tournament and it concluded in a draw. Punjab elected to field first against Railways but it was not going the way they planned since they fell short during the chase. Ultimately, the match did not come to a proper conclusion due to bad light but the toss winner of the upcoming match will want to chase as well.
Weather Report

Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Betting Odds
Madhya Pradesh to have a better opening partnership than Punjab
Abhay Choudhary and Naman Dhir’s first partnership for Punjab in the last match against Karnataka was not entirely fruitful considering they scored 0 and 19 runs together. This was also the case for Yash Dubey and Himanshu Mantri who returned without a partnership on the board for Madhya Pradesh in the previous encounter versus Karnataka. However, despite that, the latter are anticipated to come back stronger in the next match and outgun Punjab’s opening wicket.

Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Best Batters
Prabhsimran Singh to be Punjab’s Best Batter
Prabhsimran Singh is the second highest run scorer for Punjab at the moment with 63 runs in two innings. He was dismissed for just 12 runs in the first innings but he returned to score a half-century in the following innings, having garnered 51 runs. The skipper’s average of 31.50 makes him the top pick for the upcoming game.
Shubham Sharma to be Madhya Pradesh’s Best Batter
Shubham Sharma, Madhya Pradesh’s skipper, emerged as the team’s top run-getter in the last outing against Karnataka wherein he notched up an unbeaten 143 in their sole innings. He was averaging at 27.93 in the last season which is not particularly impressive but he is anticipated to maintain his present form in the next game, too.
Punjab vs Madhya Pradesh Best Bowlers
Mayank Markande to be Punjab’s Best Bowler
Mayank Markande took a six-for in the first innings against Kerala to start his campaign in the present competition and went on to take another wicket in the second innings. With seven wickets in two innings, he is the leading wicket-taker for the team so far along with an excellent bowling average of 12.57. He is expected to be their top bowler once more.
Kumar Kartikeya to be Madhya Pradesh’s Best Bowler
Kumar Kartikeya was Madhya Pradesh’s leading bowler in the last encounter against Karnataka where he took three wickets in his solitary 33-over spell. Moreover, he was mighty impressive as he delivered a whopping 13 maidens and achieved an incredible economy rate of 2.06. Naturally, he is the leading choice to be their premier bowler against Punjab.
