Bengal vs Mumbai Chances of Winning

Bengal had an incredibly successful outing against Assam in their previous match. The latter won the toss and elected to field first, allowing Bengal to set the target. However, this decision would come back to bite them as Bengal went on to score 405 runs. Their middle order made excellent contributions as Anustup Majumdar and skipper Manoj Tiwary amassed two brilliant centuries. Assam struggled in their chase as they scored just 103 runs in the first innings and, following on, they added 140 runs. Bengal emerged victorious by an innings and 162 runs.

Mumbai, unfortunately, did not have the same luck against Uttar Pradesh in their last match. Uttar Pradesh won the toss and elected to field first, putting Mumbai to bat first. Mumbai scored 198 runs in the first innings which allowed Uttar Pradesh to take the lead with 324 runs on the board. Mumbai added 320 runs to their tally but Uttar Pradesh scored 195/8 and won by just two wickets.

Bengal vs Mumbai Toss Prediction

The match is set to be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. The last match held at the venue was between Bengal and Chhattisgarh, wherein the latter won the toss and elected to field first. The match was drawn but fielding first seems to be an advantage at this pitch, given that the final between Bengal and Saurashtra in the 2023 edition of the tournament culminated in the latter’s victory after they elected to field first. Based on this result, it seems likely that the toss winner of the upcoming match could elect to field first.

Weather Report

Scattered thunderstorms can be anticipated on the day of the match with a 15% chance of precipitation. The temperature is likely to remain around 23 degrees Celsius.

Bengal vs Mumbai Betting Odds

Mumbai to have a better opening partnership than Bengal

Bengal batted a single innings against Assam in their previous match. Although their overall performance was brilliant, their foundation was rather rocky as the opening duo, Sourav Paul and Shreyansh Ghosh, could only gather 25 runs together before the latter’s wicket fell in 7.5 overs. Mumbai’s openers, Jay Bista and Bhupen Lalwani, maintained a much better partnership against Uttar Pradesh as they scored 41 runs in the first innings and collaborated for 43 runs in the second innings. Considering this disparity in performance, it seems likely that Mumbai could establish a better first wicket partnership than Bengal.

Bengal vs Mumbai Best Batters

Anustup Majumdar to be Bengal’s Best Batter

Anustup Majumdar stands as Bengal’s leading run scorer with 333 in just four innings, which includes two centuries and a half-century. In their previous match against Assam, he notched up a ton and was their top contributor, having scored 125 runs from 235 deliveries. He could be relied upon to be their top batsman once again.

Shivam Dube to be Mumbai’s Best Batter

Shivam Dube is the second highest run-getter for Mumbai with 214 runs in five innings so far. He failed to make a mark in their first innings against Uttar Pradesh wherein he scored just four runs before getting out. However, in the following innings, he went on to amass a century with 117 runs from 130 deliveries. He could be anticipated to remain their best batter.

Bengal vs Mumbai Best Bowlers

Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal to be Bengal’s Best Bowler

Suraj Sindhu Jaiswal is Bengal’s top wicket-taker at the moment with 16 wickets under his belt in five innings. He bowled two exceptional spells against Assam in their previous match, having captured three wickets in nine overs during the first innings and five wickets in 17 overs in the following innings. There is a good chance he could emerge as their top bowler once again.

Tanush Kotian to be Mumbai’s Best Bowler

Tanush Kotian has accumulated ten wickets in seven innings so far. In their last encounter against Uttar Pradesh, he bagged one wicket in seven overs during the first innings and claimed a whopping five wickets in 24.5 overs in the second innings. Considering his upward trajectory, he could be their top bowler in the next game as well.
