Chhattisgarh vs Kerala Chances of Winning
Chhattisgarh encountered a humiliating defeat on home soil in their previous match against Andhra. They won the toss and had the advantage of choosing their strategy, and they decided to put Andhra to bat first. However, Andhra mustered a total of 431 runs in the first innings and their bowling unit did a good job of defending it as they bowled out Chhattisgarh for 262 runs. Andhra went on to add 150 runs to their original tally which made it impossible for their opponents to chase in the final innings. Chhattisgarh had no answer as they were bowled out for 193 runs and conceded defeat by 126 runs.
Kerala’s result against Bihar was rather underwhelming as they did not get the opportunity to conclude it decisively. Bihar won the toss and opted to field first, relegating Kerala to securing a target. Kerala took the challenge head-on as they scored 227 runs in the first innings. Bihar, however, responded by taking the lead with 377 runs on the board. Kerala amassed an additional 220/4 but it was all in vain as they did not have the time to continue. The match was drawn.
