Maharashtra to have a better opening partnership than Vidarbha
Vidabha, in their previous match against Puducherry, only managed an opening partnership of 11 runs before the fall of their batsman Dhruv Shorey in 1.4 overs. Maharashtra, on the other hand, maintained a partnership of 41 runs between opening batsmen Ruturaj Gaikwad and Arshin Kulkarni. Their first wicket fell after 4.1 overs when Arshin Kulkarni got out. Given the disparity in performance, it is likely that Maharashtra will be able to outperform Vidarbha in terms of their first wicket partnership.
