Our Prediction
In the 2022 season, Maharashtra's performance was middling, with a fifth-place finish in Group C. They managed to secure four wins out of seven matches, accumulating a total of 16 points for the season. In stark contrast, Puducherry had a dismal 2022 season, failing to win any of their seven matches. They have yet to secure a victory in the current season as well. Consequently, Maharashtra stands as the clear favourite to secure a win in the upcoming match.

Maharashtra vs Puducherry Betting Tips
Ruturaj Gaikwad has established himself as a stellar opener, showcasing a brilliant performance in the first match. Although he experienced an unprecedented downturn in form during the second match, there is a strong likelihood that he will bounce back and resume delivering impressive innings with the bat. He commenced the season with a strong start, accumulating 82 runs in the first innings. Despite a minor setback in the second match where he was dismissed after scoring just two runs, there are high expectations for him to emerge as their premier batsman.
Arun Karthik, Puducherry's wicket-keeper, has exhibited remarkable consistency in both innings thus far. He secured the highest number of runs for his team in both matches. Given his current exceptional form, it's reasonable to anticipate that he will continue to be their top-performing batsman in the upcoming game.

Maharashtra vs Puducherry Betting Odds
Puducherry to have a better opening partnership than Maharashtra
In their recent match against Bengal, Puducherry's opening pair, consisting of Arun Karthik and Akash Kargave, managed to score 41 runs from 28 deliveries and 27 runs from 25 deliveries, respectively. In contrast, Maharashtra's openers, Azim Kazi and Nikhil Naik, accumulated 35 runs from 23 deliveries and 33 runs from 22 deliveries in their last match against Uttarakhand. However, Puducherry's wicket-keeper batsman, Arun Karthik, has been in exceptional form lately, amassing a total of 107 runs in two innings. As a result, it is reasonable to anticipate that Puducherry may establish a more impressive first-wicket partnership compared to Maharashtra.
