Goa vs Manipur Betting Odds
Manipur opening partnership to be under 19.5
Losing all the matches by an innings margin last year is proof that their batting unit struggled big time. Goa have a very decent bowling unit and left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar has found form in the lead up to the match against Manipur. Goa lost their first wicket at a score of one and eight in the last match against Saurashtra. Chances of their opening batters to score over 20 runs together is really low.
Goa vs Manipur Top Batters
SS Prabhudessa to be the top batter for Goa
SS Prabhudessa was the leading run-scorer for Goa in the last season. He scored 687 runs in seven matches at an average of 57.25. Three hundreds and two fifties came off his bat. Overall, the 26-year-old right-hand batter was the eighth highest run-scorer in the Ranji Trophy 2023-24.
Ronald Longjam to be the top batter for Manipur
Ronald Longjam looked impressive in his limited outings for Manipur last year. He scored 195 runs in four matches at an average of 24.37. Overall, the 27-year-old has featured in 11 first-class matches and scored 476 runs at an average of 23.80.
Goa vs Manipur Top Bowlers
Darshan Misal to be the top bowler for Goa
The left-arm spinner was Goa's leading wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy 2023-24. He picked 31 wickets in seven matches at an average of 23.93. Overall, the 32-year-old has featured in 71 first-class matches and picked 143 wickets.
Bishworjit Konthoujam to be the top bowler for Manipur
Losing each time by an innings margin meant that Manipur bowlers did not get the opportunity to bowl much last year. However, Bishworjit Konthoujam managed 16 wickets in his seven outings as a bowler. The 28-year-old pacer has featured in 35 matches and picked 101 wickets at an average of 29.24.

Goa
The team has warmed up nicely and are set against easy opponents in the Plate Group this time. Manipur players don't have much of exposure, and nor do they get to play in these other local matches. Coming up against a team like Goa would be extremely challenging for them. They have lost each of their last five matches by an innings margin.
