Madhya Pradesh vs Andhra Match Prediction
India
Holkar Cricket Stadium
Facts
- Shubham Sharma smashed his fifth fifty of the season during MP's last match against Tripura. The 29-year-old now has scored 440 runs which also includes a hundred. The right-hand batter would again be key to MP's success in the upcoming match.
- Avesh Khan has picked two wickets apiece in his last two outings. These are in complete contrast to the stellar he had to the tournament. MP would expect him to come all guns blazing against Andhra.
- Andhra captain Hanuma Vihari scored 80 off 123 in his side's last match against Assam. The star player now has 448 runs in seven matches at an average of 37.33 to his name. The fifty was only his second of the season and it would be interesting to see his approach during the knockout encounter. Notably, the 29-year-old hasn't been picked for the first two Test matches against Australia.
Madhya Pradesh vs Andhra Match Chance of Winning
Madhya Pradesh are likely to emerge as the winners in the upcoming match. With a berth in the semi-finals on the line, Madhya Pradesh would be coming all guns blazing against Andhra - a side which has defeated them on the previous two occasions. However, those wins came in 2019 and 2017 and as per the current standings, Madhya Pradesh are the clear favourites. Their batters are in top form. Himanshu Mantri has scored over 500 runs at an average of 45.90, while Rajat Patidar and Shubham Sharma have also racked up 438 and 440 runs respectively at the average of 44 and 54.75 respectively. Yash Dubey has also chipped in with 343 runs at an average of 31.18. The bowling unit also looks well rounded. Avesh Khan, who has picked 31 wickets at an average of 15.64, will be a major threat to Andhra. He has got a perfect company in pacers who has 17 wickets at an average of 23.35. Off-spinner Saransh Jain and Kumar Kartikeya have also scalped 26 and 23 wickets respectively (both averaging below 20).
Andhra are also in the quarter-finals and so it's obvious that the team has done well in all the departments of the game. But do they have the metal to clash against MP at their home ground? As many as three of their batters have scored over 400 runs in the tournament so far but one average more than 40. In fact, KS Bharat, who has scored 205 runs in three matches, is the only other batter from the team to average over 40. Pacers KV Sasikanth and Nitish Kumar Reddy have picked 26 and 23 wickets respectively. Left-arm spinner Lalith Mohan has 25 wickets to his name. Also, off-spinner Shoaib Md Khan has gone on to pick 21 wickets. However, all these bowlers are averaging over 20.
Andhra might have registered a big win in their last match against Assam but doing the same against MP will be a different ball game. With more consistent and in-form players on their side, MP look set to beat Andhra in their home conditions. Also, MP haven't lost a single match in Indore this season.
