Mumbai vs Assam Chances of Winning
Mumbai’s previous match against Chhattisgarh was an unfortunate draw after having put up a competitive total. Mumbai won the toss and elected to bat first, and they seized the opportunity by scoring 351 runs in the first innings with major contributions from the top order, specifically their openers Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani who amassed 159 runs and 102 runs, respectively. Chhattisgarh retaliated with 351 runs during their innings but it did not amount to anything as Mumbai extended their lead with 253/6 and the match was drawn as they ran out of time.
Assam had an impressive run against Bihar in their last encounter, wherein the latter won the toss and elected to field first, allowing Assam to bat first. However, this turned out to be a disastrous decision as Assam accumulated 405 runs in the first innings alone. Bihar was left to chase after this total and they managed to score 207 runs in the first innings and, following on, they scored an additional 292 runs. Assam, though, was not deterred by this in the slightest as they added 100 runs to their tally for the loss of one wicket and emerged victorious by nine wickets.

Mumbai vs Assam Betting Odds
Mumbai to have a better opening partnership than Assam
Assam’s openers performed exceptionally well against Bihar as Parvej Musaraf and Rishav Das maintained a partnership of 45 runs in the first innings and added 61 runs to the first wicket in the following innings. Although this was rather impressive, Mumbai’s openers took it a step further in their match against Chhattisgarh.
