Bihar vs Andhra Toss Prediction
The match is set to be played at Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, Patna. In the last three matches held at this venue during the season, the previous two concluded in draws while the remaining match was won by the team batting first. However, chasing seems to have been an easier task in the last two matches as the team batting second has been able to post a better total in their chase.

Bihar vs Andhra Betting Odds
Andhra to have a better opening partnership than Bihar
In their previous encounter against Kerala, Bihar’s opening partnership was rather poor as their openers, Piyush Singh and Sharman Nigrodh, set up a rocky foundation for the rest of the team to build on. They scored just seven runs together before the latter’s wicket was taken in 1.5 overs. Andra’s openers, too, struggled in their first innings against Chandigarh as they scored just eight runs. Prasanth Kumar and Karan Shinde went on to collaborate for 77 runs in the following innings until the former’s wicket fell in 11.4 overs. Based on these recent performances, it seems likely that Andhra could establish a better first wicket partnership than Bihar.
Bihar vs Andhra Best Batters
Sakibul Gani to be Bihar’s Best Batter
Sakibul Gani stands as Bihar’s leading batsman with 277 runs in six innings so far. He achieved his first century of the season in their previous match against Kerala, having scored 150 runs from 255 deliveries. Given this recent performance, it seems likely that he could emerge as their top batter once again.
Ricky Bhui to be Andhra’s Best Batter
Ricky Bhui, Andhra’s skipper, is currently their top run scorer with 492 runs in six innings. He amassed yet another century in their last match against Chandigarh, wherein he scored 120 runs from 201 deliveries. He did not get a chance to bat in the second innings but he could be anticipated to be their best batsman once more.
Bihar vs Andhra Best Bowlers
Veer Pratap Singh to be Bihar’s Best Bowler
Veer Pratap Singh has captured ten wickets in five overs so far, making him the team’s leading wicket-taker. In their previous match against Kerala, he managed to claim three wickets in ten overs during the first innings. Although he did not take any more wickets in the following innings, there is a good chance he could be their top bowler.
Nitish Kumar Reddy to be Andhra’s Best Bowler
Nitish Kumar Reddy is tied as Andhra’s top wicket-taker with 13 wickets in eight innings so far. Against Chandigarh, he captured one wicket in the first innings and went on to add three more wickets to his tally in the following innings. He could be relied upon to continue as their top bowler in the upcoming match.
