Railways to have a better opening partnership than Karnataka

Karnataka’s openers, Ravikumar Samarth and Mayank Agarwal, struggled to establish a decent foundation for the team to build on. In their match against Tripura, they scored nine runs together in the first innings and a mere 15 runs in the following innings. Railways, on the other hand, was able to achieve a brilliant opening partnership in their second innings against Gujarat, where Pratham Singh and Vivek Singh collaborated for 95 runs and kept their partnership alive for 19.2 overs. Given these recent outcomes, Railways could establish a better first wicket partnership than Karnataka.
