Maharashtra vs Delhi Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Maharashtra has been in the form of the year since Vijay Hazare and looks more dangerous and knows how to win big matches such as Ranji Trophy. They have enough skilled batsmen to take on any bowling attack and bowlers who can defend.

If Delhi bats first, we expect a score of 250 plus runs. If Maharashtrabat first, expect somewhere between 280 to 300 runs in the first innings.

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Pavan Shah are a major threat to Delhi. They will look to score some runs in the first innings. If they get going, then we can see a huge total on board.

We are backing Maharashtra to win the next match.
