Meghalaya vs Nagaland Betting Odds
Meghalaya to have a better opening partnership than Nagaland
Meghalaya and Nagaland displayed comparable performance in terms of opening partnerships in their previous respective matches. Nagaland’s openers, Joshua Ozukum and Vishal Sahani, in their match against Mizoram, scored just one run in the first innings and 15 runs in the following innings. Meghalaya’s opening pair, Arien Sangma and Swarajeet Das, failed to achieve a partnership in their first innings against Hyderabad and went on to amass ten runs together in the second innings. However, considering their form, it seems likely that Meghalaya could establish a better first wicket partnership than Nagaland.
