Puducherry vs Madhya Pradesh Betting Odds

Puducherry to have a better opening partnership than Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh, in their previous match against Delhi, displayed lackluster performance in terms of opening partnership. Yash Dubey and Himanshu Mantri, their openers, scored nine runs together in their first innings before the fall of the latter’s wicket in just 2.1 overs. In the following innings, it was even more dismal as they failed to achieve an opening partnership at all. Puducherry’s openers, on the other hand, had a much better outing against Uttarakhand. Akash Kargave and Jay Pande collaborated for 49 runs during the first innings and ten runs in the next innings. Taking this into account, Puducherry could establish a better first wicket partnership than Madhya Pradesh.
