Uttarakhand vs Vidarbha Chance of Winning

They finished 3rd in the table with four wins and three defeats in seven games. They got 16 points and a net run rate of +1.272 besides their name. Their dreams of qualifying for the knockouts shattered when Mumbai defeated them by a mere margin of only two runs in their last league stage encounter.

Vidarbha came second in the Elite Group A table last season with five wins and two defeats in seven games. They got 20 points besides their name with a net run rate of +0.829. They won their last three group stage games in a row to qualify for the knockouts. They faced stern challenges in the form of Chhattisgarh and Delhi to reach the semi-finals. However, their dreams of lifting the SMAT title shattered when they lost to Mumbai by 5 wickets in the second semi-final. They will hope to do even better this season and get their hands on the silverware.

Uttarakhand vs Vidarbha Betting Odds

Vidarbha to score over 45.5 runs in the first six overs

Vidarbha possesses a strong batting lineup, featuring players such as Jitesh Sharma, Atharva Taide, Apoorv Wankhade, and Faiz Faizal. These batsmen are anticipated to contribute with quick runs, providing Vidarbha's innings with a solid foundation. Notably, in the previous season, Jitesh and Apoorv displayed impressive strike rates of 175 and 133, respectively. Furthermore, when these two teams faced each other last season, Vidarbha managed to accumulate 48 runs during the powerplay. Therefore, we are optimistic about their ability to replicate a similar performance in the upcoming contest.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Vidarbha

Vidarbha is our favoured team to emerge victorious against Uttarakhand. Last season, Vidarbha reached the semi-finals but unfortunately suffered a five-wicket defeat to Mumbai. Uttarakhand, who finished just below Vidarbha in the standings, failed to qualify for the knockout stage. These teams have faced each other only once before, with Vidarbha securing a narrow two-run victory. Vidarbha has demonstrated consistency, reaching the semi-finals of the SMAT in consecutive seasons.
