Vidarbha vs Karnataka Chances of Winning

Vidarbha had quite a successful outing against Haryana in their previous encounter, wherein they won the toss and elected to bat first. This worked out perfectly for them as they managed to muster a total of 423 runs during the first innings. Haryana trailed behind significantly after they completed their first innings, having scored 333 runs. Vidarbha went on to extend their lead by scoring an additional 205 runs. This put a great deal of pressure on the opposition and eventually, Haryana succumbed to it and got dismissed for 180 runs. Despite their best efforts, they lost by 115 runs.

Karnataka’s outing against Chandigarh witnessed them break even after they won the toss and opted to field first. Allowing Chandigarh to secure the target, they conceded 267 runs in the first innings. This was not a particularly commanding total, which gave way for Karnataka to sweep past them with 563 runs on the board for the loss of five wickets, at which point they declared the innings. Chandigarh batted once more and added 236/5 to the original tally but the result was drawn as they reached the end of four days.

Vidarbha vs Karnataka Betting Tips

Vidarbha to score low before their first dismissal

Vidarbha’s opening duo has been rather inconsistent in their previous few matches as their results have reflected a fluctuation in performance. In their last three matches, they have scored 5, 0, 40, 28 and 14 runs before the fall of their first wicket. They have not been able to achieve a steady partnership and it seems unlikely that they could put on a competitive opening partnership in the upcoming match.

Vidarbha vs Karnataka Toss Prediction

The match is set to be played at Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground, Nagpur. The last match held here during the tournament was between Vidarbha and Haryana, wherein the former won the toss and elected to bat first. It worked out favorably as they went on to win by a substantial margin of 115 runs. The pitch seems to support high scores, especially during the first innings. Based on this outcome, it seems highly probable that the toss winner of the upcoming match could opt to bat first.

Weather Report

Clear skies are anticipated on the day of the match with absolutely no chance of rainfall in Nagpur. The temperature is likely to remain around 29 degrees Celsius.

Vidarbha vs Karnataka Betting Odds

Karnataka to have a better opening partnership than Vidarbha

Faiz Fazal and Dhruv Shorey, Vidarbha’s opening batsmen, failed to set up competitive partnerships in their match against Haryana, given that they scored five runs together in the first innings and could not achieve a partnership at all in the second innings. Karnataka’s opening duo, Ravikumar Samarth and Mayank Agarwal, did not perform much better against Chandigarh as they collaborated for eight runs in their sole innings. However, Karnataka has managed to post respectable opening stands in the season so far and could establish a better first wicket partnership than Vidarbha.

Vidarbha vs Karnataka Best Bowlers

He delivered two incredible spells against Haryana in their last match, wherein he captured three wickets in 22.2 overs in the first innings and bagged two more in the second innings in 7.3 overs. He has showcased massive wicket-taking prowess and could be expected to emerge as their premier bowler.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to be Karnataka’s Best Bowler

Vijaykumar Vyshak is the top wicket-taker for Karnataka at the moment with a whopping 34 wickets in 14 innings. His spell during the first innings against Chandigarh was remarkable given that he delivered 23 overs, conceded 77 runs and bowled three maidens, resulting in an economy rate of 3.34. He captured four wickets at this stage and although he could not claim any in the second innings, he has been quite consistent and could continue as their leading bowler.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Karnataka

Vidarbha has had a relatively faultless season as they won five out of seven matches while the remaining fixtures concluded in a draw and a defeat. They ended their group stage as table toppers of the Group A standings with 33 points and a net run rate of 1.351. Karnataka, too, had a successful run in the tournament with three wins out of seven matches, three draws and a loss. They occupied second place in the Group C standings with 27 points and a net run rate of 1.252. However, the bookmarkers believe that Karnataka is the favorite to come out on top in the upcoming fixture.
