Railways vs Tripura Match Prediction

Railways vs Tripura Match Prediction.

Railways will take on Tripura in their fifth match of Elite Group D at Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat from January 10. The match will kick start at 9:30 AM IST.

Bet on Ranji Trophy

The stadium has been designated as the home ground of Railways team after the pitch at Karnail Stadium, their actual home ground, was declared dangerous during the Railways-Punjab match. The clash between Railways and Tripura will be the second one to be played on the ground this season after Railways and Jammu and Kashmir locked horns at the same venue recently.

In their game against Jammu and Kashmir, hosts Railways emerged victorious and registered their maiden win of the competition. On the other hand, Tripura are yet to beat a side this season.

Railways vs Tripura Match Chance of Winning

The game will be an exciting one as both teams possess fairly even skill sets. In the Elite Group D points table, while Railways are ranked fifth, Tripura are at the sixth position with just one point less than Railways.

Railways have winning momentum behind them and will look to make the most of it. Moreover, their solitary victory came at the same venue a few days ago. Backed by Mohammad Saif’s double hundred and Akash Pandey’s 10-wicket haul, Railways secured their first win of the season against Jammu and Kashmir.

Tripura, on the other hand, will hope to play a game uninterrupted by rain as both of their last two games ended in draws after being severely affected by continuous rains in Agartala. Their last uninterrupted match resulted in their defeat and skipper Wriddhiman Saha will hope his team bounces back in Surat.

However, with the likes of Mohammad Saif, Upendra Yadav, Sagar Jadhav, and Akash Pandey in great form, Railways will begin the game as favourites.

Our Prediction

As mentioned above, Railways have both in-form batters and bowlers and will look to win their second game in a row. Even though experienced Wriddhiman Saha will give his everything to register Tripura’s first win of the season, Railways are expected to pip Saha’s men. On the turning tracks of Surat, left-arm spinner Akash Pandey will look to run through Tripura’s batting lineup and hand his team another victory.

Railways vs Tripura Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Last year, Railways finished second in the Elite Group C points table but failed to move to the next round. The team bagged a win and settled for a couple of draws to add 10 points to their kitty.

Meanwhile, Tripura finished at the bottom of the Elite Group F points table with two losses and a draw. The side was thrashed by both Punjab and Himachal Pradesh after it played a draw against Haryana in its first match.

This season, Railways and Tripura are accompanied by Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Vidarbha, Jammu and Kashmir, and Chandigarh in the Elite Group D. Defending Champions are nearly assured of a quarter-final berth and both Railways and Tripura are bound to face an extremely tough challenge from Punjab and Gujarat. Both teams are most likely to bow out of the tournament after the league stage itself.

Railways vs Tripura Match Toss Prediction

The Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat hosted the match between Railways and Jammu and Kashmir recently. Railways won the toss and opted to bat first and went on to conquer the match by an innings. In the 2019-20 season, Gujarat played a couple of games here and won both of them despite losing the toss on both occasions. The team batting first won two of the three games on the ground. Understandably, the team winning the toss will look to bat first on the 10th of January as the Gujarat pitches tend to assist the spinners in the fourth innings.

Weather Report

All four game days are expected to be sunny with the temperature reaching a maximum of 31 degrees Celsius. Humidity will be 33 percent on Day 1 but will reach its peak of 54 percent on Day 3.
