Maharashtra vs Saurashtra Betting Tips
Saurashtra to score low before 1st dismissal
Saurashtra have a splendid line-up of batters in the tournament. They have displayed great potential with the bat in the deep order. However, their opening line-up struggled earlier in the competition. Harvik Desai and Snell Patel opened for the team and posted the scores of 27 & 16 runs in the 1st innings of first two games. Snell Patel did not yield a promising performance and was replaced by Kevin Jivrajani who lived up to the expectations. The pair of Jivrajani and Desai posted 63 & 46 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of the next two games. Desai averages at 34.33 whereas Jivrajani has a spectacular average of 41.33 in the competition. That said, the team should be able to muster a good score for the opening partnership in the next game.
