Both teams will be looking to secure their first win of the championship.

Arunachal Pradesh vs Manipur Chance of winning

Arunachal Pradesh have looked completely out of sorts thus far in the tournament. Having lost by pretty similar margins in their first two matches, Arunachal haven’t had the best of times.

Manipur, in the meantime, is one of the two teams in their group to win a match. But the one point they got against Bihar should give them quite a bit of confidence.

Our Prediction

Manipur are the firm favourites to win their match against Arunachal Pradesh. The bookmakers think so and our prediction isn’t any different.

Although Manipur are yet to secure their first victory, they should be able to do so against Arunachal Pradesh, who would do well if they evade an innings defeat.

Arunachal Pradesh’s batting has been pretty poor this season and they failed to go past the three-figure score two out of three times. Their bowlers did fairly well against Mirozam after bowling the opposition out for 338. It’s time for their batters to support their bowlers if Arunachal want to evade a defeat to Manipur.

Manipur were doing fairly well against Sikkim in a low-scoring match at SCA Ground in Rangoo, but they failed to carry the momentum until the end. Eventually losing by eight wickets.

Against Bihar, they were in all sorts of trouble, but their skipper LM Keishangbam stayed unbeaten on 79 and guided his team through to a draw in a tense encounter at Gujarat College Ground.
