Jharkhand vs Manipur Betting Tips

Manipur to score low before 1st dismissal

Manipur has displayed a disappointing batting front in the competition. They scored mere totals in the competition and do not have a strong squad to compete in the group they are pooled in. Their openers Karnajit Yumnam and Basir Rehman average at 8.37 & 10.66 respectively in the competition and look out of form. The pair posted scores of 15. 15, 5 & 10 for their opening partnership in the 1st innings of four games. That said, they are expected to lose an early wicket in the next game against Jharkhand. Jharkhand will exploit this weakness with their talented bowlers in the squad.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Jharkhand

This is a one-sided affair. Jharkhand is a much better team in terms of batting and bowling. They are having a dismal season but Manipur is having a worse time in the tournament. Manipur could not scratch the surface and lost four consecutive games in the competition. They have a weak batting and bowling order. This will be their first clash in the format but considering their forms and squad strength, Jharkhand will go in as a stronger power.
