Kerala vs Vidarbha Betting Odds

Vidarbha to have a better opening partnership than Kerala

Kerala and Vidarbha head into the finals after both sides have been dominant so far in this tournament. Both teams have remained unbeaten so far which makes this a great watch for the neutrals. This would be the first final appearance for Kerala in Ranji Trophy who even though have been incredible would need to find a few more gears if they want to go all the way as they take on Vidarbha who have been the most consistent team in this tournament. This would be their second finals appearance in as many seasons. They lost against Mumbai last season and would be hoping to take that next step this season. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact Kerala have conceded a bigger opening partnership in each of the last two games which makes us believe Vidarbha would end up having a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Vidarbha

Kerala have had an incredible campaign and deserve to be in the finals but going head to head against a team that has been dominant in the last few seasons would be a step too far. We expect the bookmakers to favour the homeside in this game and you should do the same as it would be a dominant win for Vidarbha and they would be crowned champions.

• Kerala to win - 1.97 (PariMatch)
• Vidarbha to win - 1.72 (PariMatch)
