During their first innings, their middle order did much of their scoring as Sachin Baby achieved a century with 124 runs while Akshay Chandran followed it up with another ton, having scored 106 runs. Both of them anchored the innings considering they were the only major contributors. This led to Kerala establishing a total of 363 runs in the first innings.

Kerala managed to add 265 runs to their tally for the loss of six wickets, at which point they declared the total. Bengal could not respond to this and got bowled out for 339 runs, losing by 109 runs.

Andhra vs Kerala Betting Odds

Kerala to have a better opening partnership than Andhra

Despite having set up competitive totals, Andhra’s opening partnerships against Uttar Pradesh did not make an impact considering Prasanth Kumar and Maheep Kumar added just 14 runs to the first wicket in the first innings and scored a mere 19 runs in the following innings. Kerala’s openers, on the other hand, were much more impressive as Rohan Kunnummal and Jalaj Saxena collaborated for 26 runs in their first innings against Bengal and went on to amass 88 runs together in the second innings. Kerala could be in a position to outperform Andhra in terms of first wicket partnership.

He narrowly missed out on a century in their first innings against Uttar Pradesh, wherein he scored 94 runs off 185 deliveries, but promptly made up for it in the second innings by scoring 129 runs from 246 deliveries. There is a good possibility he could continue as their standout batsman.
