Assam vs Kerala Betting Odds
Assam to have a better opening partnership than Kerala
Kerala’s openers, Krishna Prasad and Rohan Kunnummal, failed to achieve an opening partnership in their first innings versus Uttar Pradesh. In the following innings, they mustered a mere 13 runs together before the fall of the former’s wicket. Assam, too, struggled in their first innings against Chhattisgarh wherein Rishav Das and Rahul Hazarika, their opening duo, scored just three runs. However, they turned things around in the second innings as they collaborated for 49 runs before the fall of the first wicket. Considering this result, it appears likely that Assam could establish a better first wicket partnership than Kerala.
