Mumbai vs Vidarbha Betting Tips
Mumbai to score high before first dismissal
Mumbai’s openers have been rather prolific in their approach to setting up an aggressive opening stand in the past few matches. Their match against Tamil Nadu was an aberration since Prithvi Shaw and Bhupen Lalwani failed to make an impact and had to settle for an opening partnership of five runs. However, in the four matches leading up to that, they scored 57, 18, 31, 244, 78 and 50 runs before their first dismissal. Mumbai’s first wicket looks to be in safe hands with the pair and they are expected to garner a considerable number of runs before their partnership is brought to a close.
Mumbai vs Vidarbha Toss Prediction
Wankhede Stadium is known to favor the batting side as they have emerged victorious in 11 out of 28 test matches held at the venue while the chasing side has won on nine occasions. Although spinners find themselves in a comfortable position towards the tail end of a test match, batsmen are likely to be favored overall which makes batting first a lucrative option at this pitch.

Mumbai to have a better opening partnership than Vidarbha

In the two matches prior to that, they scored 22, 68, 5 and zero runs.
