Goa vs Punjab Betting Tips

Punjab to score low before 1st dismissal

Punjab have a very fragile batting order in the competition. The team is backed by the openers namely Prabhsimran SIngh and Abhishek Sharma. Singh and Sharma average at 41.00 & 31.20 respectively in the competition. The duo posted the scores of 15, 15 & 27 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of the three games. Although the batters average high in the competition, they are taking their sweet time in adjusting to the conditions. That said, Goa will be expected to pick their first wicket early in their next clash.

Goa vs Punjab Toss Prediction

The Goa Cricket Association Academy Ground in Porvorim has a well-balanced pitch, which offers a lot of opportunities for both bowlers and batters. The pitch will be fresh, so fans can expect spinners to play a crucial role in the middle overs. The skipper should opt to bat here first.

Weather Report

The weather predicts a clear forecast on the day of the game. The temperature will be around 32 degree Celsius on January 26.
